November 11, 2008 is Veteran's Day. This day should be important to all. This is the day the US government set aside to honor all our veterans. Thousands of young men and women have sacrificed their lives in the name of freedom.
I've attached a photo that I found of Navajo Code Talkers. The Navajo Code Talkers were a very important weapon in the United States military. The Navajo don't have words for bombs, tanks or other war-type words so they used their words in their language to pass messages along on the battle field. The enemy didn't understand the language and were unable to crack the code. The Code Talkers were very valuable to the US Military and were eventually assigned body guards. The US government had to protect itself against the enemy capturing one of the Code Talkers and gave orders to the body guards that the Code Talkers shouldn't be taken by the enemy. The Code Talkers were a huge asset to the military and are finally being recognized by the US government for their sacrifice and contribution in WWII.
If you know a Veteran, call and tell them "thank you" and let them know that their service to this country is greatly appreciated.
