Thanks for posting this. FoxNews has been announcing in some way the last couple of days about Star Trek "Scotty"'s death, has anyone heard this death announced or discussed?

It's a shame that a TV or film character gets more coverage than a true hero does. I'll bet most kids in school these days wouldn't have a clue what this article is about.

I thought it was a shame when they made a movie about these guys it revolved around a white guy(Nick Cage). Hollywood has a way of doing that. Code Talkers is one, The Last Samurai is another. It's just sad.

Probably very true and very much a shame. These men were true patriots and heroes and I honor their service and their memory. When The Call came they answered it, and served with honor.

I believe Scotty was wounded rather severely in World War II himself. I think he was a hero in his own right....
