Last original Navajo code talker dies at 93.

[Bugman]

In an era of great discrimination directed at racial minorities, the stories of the Code Talkers, the Tuskegee Airmen and the 442nd Regimental Combat Team are some of the most inspiring to come out of the war. Often denied basic rights in their own country, these men willingly came forward to defend America in her hour of need. They are true heroes one and all.

R.I.P. Mr. Nez.

One of the greatest achievements, from a part of the "greatest generation"...to have ever been conceived by our military!!! The Japanese were so confused by their "language"...they had no idea, where to even start, to try and break "the code"!!! It was such a huge part of our many victories, in the Pacific!!!

R.I.P. Mr. Nez...and hail to the rest of the "Windtalkers", as well!!!

Rest In Peace, Mr. Nez. You were a genuine hero.
