BY FUNERAL & MEMORIAL BAGPIPER
I recently played at The World War ll Memorial in Washington DC, to honor the Code Talkers who served on Iwo Jima during the conflict with Japan.
Marine Cpl. Peter MacDonald is one of four remaining Navajo Code Talkers.
Cpl. MacDonald enlisted when he was 15 and he and 120 other Navajo Indians provided secure combat communications during the battle.
The Japanese were completely baffled by this strange language.
The movie “Wind Talkers”, featuring Nicolas Cage tells the historic story.
On a pleasant sunny day he spoke of us all being Americans regardless of our ethnic backgrounds.
