Never knew that the code talkers had their own day of remembrance. link Jim |

The Choctaws were the first but apparently the Navajos have a better PR department. The sad irony is my grandmother was in an awesome state-run boarding school getting whipped for using her native tongue while our code talkers were saving lives. |

Yes, I'm a Mississippian and well aware of the WW1 participation by the Choctaw and Cherokee code talkers. And what was done to the American (and Canadian) Indian children was abhorrent. Jim |

About 15 years ago we traveled out west and on on the way to Monument Valley, through the Navajo reservation stopped to eat at a local Burger King and ran into this "Windtalker" exhibit: link There is also a Windtalker museum in Tuba City too. |
