It seems like the “last one” has died about 6 times.....

He is the last one of the original 29 Navajo Code Talkers.
They trained an additional 400 Code Talkers, and they are dwindling away now as well.
So yes, there will be more funerals as the Code Talkers pass away over the years.
May these fine men and women be Blessed by God, and may they rest in peace in His arms.

Mr. Chester Nez, may you rest in peace, you precious man.
Thank you and the Navajo Nation for all you have done for
our and your country.
Thank you for the ping, Ciexyz. Much appreciated. We owe
a great debt to the Navajo Code talkers.

If you ever visit Four Corners National Monument, you may bump into Joe Begay, a Navajo silversmith that's a vendor there.
I met him two years ago. My son was talking to him, and he was telling him stories about his time as a Green Beret in Vietnam. I purchased one of the parachutist badges he had on display, and we started comparing notes of our experience at Jump School.
My son seemed to be a bit prouder of his dad after that visit...at least for awhile...lol.
One of Joe's uncles was one of the original Code Talkers.

That is just fascinating. I’m delighted that you were able to
swap war stories with Joe Begay as your son was listening to
you and Joe. It’s heartwarming that your son is now prouder
of his dad than ever.
May God Bless you and yours, and God Bless the Code Talkers.
