Navajo Code Talkers Honored in New York

The elite Marine unit of Navajo soldiers whose cryptic code remained unbroken during World War Two was honored at the annual Veterans' Day parade in New York City. The Code Talkers are using their trip as a bid to raise funds for a museum to honor their contribution to defeating the Japanese. Few of the original 400 Navajo Code Talkers are still alive. They say unless a museum is built quickly, their experiences will die with them. Nathan King reports:

Let's get it done. We need to honor these guys. I do my best to teach my students about these great Americans.

Years back I was reading the book "This Country was Ours" that it's a Native American Manifesto, there was a small chapter about the Navajo Code Talkers and it was very funny to know that Hitler himself was named Crazy White Man in Navajo language..

@cinderalla72 and @mezakure It makes me sad that you feel that way about our elders. Pride or no pride you should still respect your elders no matter if they are codetalkers or not. Thats all i can really say
