The Code Talkers.


Poem Artwork

Called upon to serve our nation,
Never been off the reservation.
The original twenty-seven they came,
Using sounds for words with no English name.
The code they had remained unbroken,
Because their ancient tongue was spoken.
They proved their worth in many a battle,
Nerves of the enemy they did rattle.
On patrols, in foxholes, and on jeeps they rode,
With radios in hand they spoke this code.
So much loss of life did they retard,
That each was assigned a body guard.
We'll never know how many they did save,
A grateful nation salutes you, Navajo Brave.

With so much money wasted already, why the schmucks in Washington didn't have the sense to take over and finish Crazy Horse monument?
That would have given the Native American Nations a gesture of respect that they didn't get from the two tongues speakin pale faces.

We should all salute them, and never forget them. I've visited the Navajo Nation many times, and they are truly a people we could all still learn much from.

Thank you Walt because for a long, long time they were not given the recognition they so duly deserve. Without them I do not think we could have won.....

Walt, this is a most beautiful tribute to the Code Talkers of WWII. It was through their language that many were saved. Each of us owes these brave men a multitude of thanks.
