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
