"Code Talkers'

Sounds like a good idea in one way. Do remember seeing a dramatised movie about it...I think it was called "Windtalkers".
 
I know a woman who live in Farmington, NM. She is full blooded Navajo, and told me either her father or uncle was a code talker. I would have loved to have meet the man. It would be awesome to meet living history.

You're correct demorier,...."Windtalkers" with Nicholas Cage. A real stinker of a movie. All the emphasis was put on Cage,...and not the Navajo "Windtalkers." Cage acted like this dis-jointed angst-ed out, troubled officer that didn't have a clue why he was in uniform in the first place. Why would someone want to see a nut job army officer when the movie could have portrayed in great depth the lives of these wonderful Native Americans doing their jobs under fire and fooling the Japanese at every turn? The movie was pitiful. Didn't deserve one star.
