Marine Down

[LordofallSocks]

John Kinsel Sr., one of the last remaining Navajo Code Talkers who transmitted messages during World War II based on the tribe’s native language, has died. He was 107. Navajo Nation officials in Window Rock announced Kinsel’s death on Saturday. Tribal President Buu Nygren has ordered all flags on the reservation to be flown at half-staff until Oct. 27 at sunset to honor Kinsel. “Mr. Kinsel was a Marine who bravely and selflessly fought for all of us in the most terrifying circumstances with the greatest responsibility as a Navajo Code Talker,” Nygren said in a statement Sunday.


Fair winds and following seas.
Til Valhalla. RAH.

Brave men. Code talkers were very instrumental in the defeat of the Empire. God bless this man and his family, and my sincere gratitude for what he did for the freedom of our GREAT Country. They will never make men like they did back then.

Japan never broke that code. Was a stroke of genius to use the Navajo language and the code talkers.
