Thanks... its hard for me to accept that the boys who fought on that hell on earth and the things which took to the streets last weekend were spawned by the same nation.

Ain't that the truth!

I hear you. Here's something cool I think you'll want to see. The Navajo Code Talkers (many of whom participated in the battle for Iwo Jima) have an association and this appears on their web page:

--- NCTA Proclamation In Response to Sept 11, 2001 Attack ---

In response to the terrorist attack on America, September 11, 2001, the Navajo Code Talker Association, at their NCTA meeting Thursday, Sept. 27, 2001, a proclamation was read and approved:

"PROCLAMATION OF THE NAVAJO CODE TALKERS ASSOCIATION DECLARING THE READINESS AND DESIRE OF THE NAVAJO CODE TALKERS TO SUPPORT THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IN HIS ANTI-TERRORISM STANCE AND TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE TO OUR GREAT AND BELOVED COUNTRY IN THIS TIME OF NATIONAL EMERGENCY."


(These guys sound like they're ready to strap it on again. Those protesters ought to be so damned ashamed of themselves.)
