Navajo Code Talkers

rehoboth 031-1

The middle school at Rehoboth is named for the Navajo Code Talkers who are heroes to the people there. These Navajos were used by the US Marine Corp in World War II because their language is so difficult to translate. The library of the middle school displayed a history of these Code Talkers.

Last night, John & I watched "Wind Talkers", a 2002 movie, starring Nicholas Cage, about the role they played in WWII.
