Every American should watch this and live by what he says in the end.

Thanks for sharing Jesse.

Movie title "Windtalkers" is about the Najavo Native Indians and their use of their native language during combat actions in the south pacific theatre actions. Each "code talker" had a body guard with orders to keep them safe and if need be to "take them out" to avoid capture by the enemy. None were captured and code never broken. .................. drill sgt.

The whole story of the code talkers is pretty fascinating . It actually started with the Cherokee and Choctaw's in WWI . The Germans sent some people to the U.S. prior to WWII to try and learn the the languages but didn't have much success . Because of this the U.S. didn't try to implement the program in Europe . There were about 10 tribes that were part of this .
The Canadians did something similar with the Cree language .

I've been familiar with it, and it is amazing. The end of the video though, I wish everyone adhered to.

A Marine said he would walk the whole parade in his 90's.

Roy Hawthorne (middle) served as a Navajo Code Talker. He was walking on a two-mile parade route during National Navajo Code Talkers Day in Window Rock, Ariz., when two Marines began helping him on the last half mile. T

I wasn't aware that Marines could be awarded Army jump wings and CIBs, let alone a 3-time recipient of the CIB.

Never going to happen, when half of the country wants to tear it down, erase and revise its history.

May God continue to bless those men.

Marines were his 1st go around in the military it seems.

"Hawthorne was discharged from the Marine Corps after the war, but after less than two years as a civilian he decided to re-enter the military and joined the Army. In the Army, he became a paratrooper, rose to the rank of Staff Sergeant, and also fought in the Korean War, during which he experienced the Chinese Spring Offensive of 1951 before being wounded in the leg by shrapnel from a mortar round."

He is a bonified Badass.

Reverend Roy Hawthorne passed away in April 2018 at the age of 92.
