Code Talkers

My soul rejoices For its metaphors, Those pure and mixed; Transforms symbols, Veiled into Light-- We are literary: Our stories, lives, Encrypted by the Maker, Deciphered by Men and women With ears to the earth And eyes to the sky-- They have never forgotten The Great Plains-- Its deep thunder of buffalo; One with brother eagle Respectful of thermals And winds Shared a treasured high The unbreakable code A language of Spirit--

Couldn't have defeated Japan without them. The Native American Indian, another of America's dirty deeds. "Our nation was born in genocide..." and we called them "savages". Enjoyed the read Joe. Sorry about the rant. I sympathize with the native Americans.

The work they did for American was truly miraculous. The Code Talkers are Great Americans! This cannot be emphasized enough.
