The code-talkers were well known in my old homestead. One of the code-talkers had a presentation he would give to the tourists and locals in Cortez Colorado at the Cultural center one day a week. It was wonderful and gave us the opportunity to show our appreciation to a man who sacrificed all for his country...as so many are now doing in the sandbox.

MOst people don't realize this, but the Choctaws also sent code talkers into the U.S. Armed Forces, beginning in World War I, and again in World War II.

Hi, Kathy.

What a fascinating history. I had always heard of the Navajo code. The Native American service to our/their country is inspiring.

Sign 'Arizona Supports Our Native American Warrior Troops Thank You'

I've been using this sign for a long time at Arizona support the troop rallies. An internet friend (not FR) inspired me.

He's a US Army veteran Native American who recently got a Ph.D. He also re-upped at age 58 to help fight the war on terror and recently completed his tour. Thanks for your service, Nighthawk! (that's all I know him by.)
