    I’m a Navajo. So just hearing this makes me proud. We were a big part of WW2 despite the hardships we went through before we became US. I read a book about this and it said that no code talkers complained about boot camp because we were use to everything that the boot camp brought to us. From the heat, living in poor conditions and the stress. We kicked ass and I wish others would notice that.

      Yes their were many native American tribes that participated in the code talker program, I think Hopi was sent to Europe with the Cheyenne and the Navajo and Apache were sent to the Pacific.
      But the reason why Navajo is most represented in WW2 because they had no vocabulary or dialect to study so the axis powers wouldn't be able to crack Navajo.
      Hope this answers your question 😊

    When he started speaking Navaho it gave me chills. This man was a witness to a complex and deadly situation in which he certainly had a right to avoid. The Marine Corps teaches pride and places a strong emphasis on it's history. The famed coded talkers have been woven into our proud traditions and we are proud of them. I like to think they were proud to be us as well. I am sure his boot camp experience was way harder than mine and I was only expected to speak English and do as I was told with a quickness.

    What never had ceased to amaze me is how humble/modest these men and women are/were of the greatest generation. My grandfather was in the Army Aircorp and helped retake the Philippine Islands. My Grandfather in law was a pilot in Europe. His crew was one of the first to complete 25 missions. Neither men would talk about the war, but would tell funny stories about their buddies. Tom Brokaw's book about the Greatest Generation described both men to a T.

    Flags of our fathers is a good movie about Jima. Not to put any other part of war down, or be disrespectful to other types of combat, but in my opinion, it would be particularly scary being a young sailor aboard a ship where you were sat down under, in your rack, and can hear the shelling, then the ship goes down and you're trapped, the feeling of helplessness would get me. Respect to all veterans, I just think a sailor on a ship in WW2 would be terrifying
