A recent newspaper story featured Charles Nez. Now 90 years old, Nez
is the last living member of the U.S. Marine Corps 382nd Platoon. The
last Navajo code talker.
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, take a few minutes to watch this YouTube
clip -- "The Navajo Code Talkers, Our Heroes" -- which was shown in the
Arizona House of Representatives during the dedication of a Navajo Code
Talker Monument on Feb 28, 2008. Much of the nearly 10-minute clip
includes a voice-over of President Bush honoring Chester Nez and other
Navajo code talkers with Congressional Gold Medals.

If this video doesn't bring a tear to the eye, better check your
pulse. Thank you, all veterans, for your service.
73, Bob W9RAN
