I remember first hearing of them on Paul Harvey's "Rest of the Story" in the '80s, though I believe he told of the Navajo in WWII.

Wasn't there a movie about them? IT was stated they were to be killed If they were to fall Into enemy hands. But then that might have been just movie drama.
For sure they weren't treated right by our government.

The movie was about the WWII Navajo talkers, with Nicholas Cage.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

They are putting up signs on the highways here in SE Oklahoma naming bridges after these men in honor of their service. Good. Someone needs to try to keep things like this forward in history. The reason I posted this is because the wife just got her annual tree decoration from the Nation and it is the code talkers.
Sit on your horse on top of a ridge, look out across the country and tell me there is no God.

Example; in German an airplane is a flugzug or literally fly/flug thing/zug and an airport is a flugplatz or fly place. I speak fluent German. do you know what the German word for brazier is? Holdzembackfromfloppin.

(They) Spoke their tongue using words that were also coded.
E.I. ant=tank, indigenous words for ant would be used.
