Windtalkers’ is still one of my fave war movies.
Rest well warrior.
The Code Talkers took part in every assault the Marines conducted in the Pacific.
God bless them.
I defintely agree with you.
My WW II Marine uncle knew some of the Code Talkers and I was honored to meet several at Marine Corps League events. I had shivers go up my back when I shook hands with them.
RIP, warriors.

Thought you good folks would like to know of this.
Dad was a SeaBee and dealt with them also. Told me about them when I was a kid. He used to laugh knowing the Japs were going crazy trying to figure out what was going on. Unfortunately, never met any of them.
Thanks for that, JEC. The SeaBees did a hell of a job wherever they went.
Thanks for that. What’s the translation?
Thank God for this hero!
Thank you so much for the ping! I am fascinated by their story.
Agreed. Thanks for your post AG. (((HUGS)))
You are most welcome my FRiend. I love their story. A very rare breed too soon gone and too little remembered.
