While on the subject of D-Day in another post this happened this week as well.

The last of the Navajo indian Codetalkers died this week. Their story is an amazing one and their contribution to the Pacific war and battles we fought were successful due in part to their efforts.

For those of you who do not know about the Codetalkers I suggest picking up the movie
" Windtalkers " with Nicholas Cage. It is a story about these guys and how their code was never broken by the Japanese.

Here is the link to the story about the passing of the last Codetalker:

I heard that story on NPR; it was really interesting.  I don't know if I saw that movie, Nick Cage, right?

Mojo

Yes Bobbin.

It was a great movie. I never knew about the code talkers till I watched that movie.
Their contribution was amazing.

Rent the movie Bobbin when you get the chance. You will like it.
