I am in awe of these men as well. They exemplified the true meaning of patriotism and selflessness. Thank you for the link, DinK!DukieInKansas wrote:Today is National Navajo Code Talkers Day. I'm still amazed by these men. They had been punished if they spoke their native language when they were children but then joined the Marines to use their native language to serve our country.

I have had the privilege of meeting and hearing Sam Sandoval speak twice. He is one of the last 10 living code talkers from WWII. The code was never cracked.
Thank you to all of the code talkers and their families for their service and sacrifice.

He hasn't played football since elementary school, so I think so. During their national championship celebration parade, he claimed he was telling kids along the route "Stay in school! Study hard! Be a nerd!"YmoBeThere wrote:Is nerd-ness allowed to be used in the same sentence as football?
