Have you thanked a Navajo Code Talker today?

This Q is more for citizens of the US, but everybody is welcomed to respond. On this day in 1942, 29 Navajo men joined the US Marine Corp to come up with an unbreakable code so the Japanese wouldn’t be able to know what the US had planned during WWII. Up to this point, the Japanese had been able to crack any code that we managed to create thereby knowing what we had planned next.

My Dad was a WWII vet & he firmly believed that those 29 men were heroes who helped to save this country. Having never met any of these men, we made it a practice to put out a silent, heartfelt thank you into the universe as our way to celebrate their lives & service to our country.

Did you know or realize that today was the anniversary of the beginning of the Navajo Code Talkers? Since they were Native Americans, I don’t feel that they ever received the recognition they deserved. Do you have any memories of them? Are you willing to take a moment to offer a silent (or not so silent) thank you to those men? Any other thoughts?
