Just got done reading the comments on my post about the code talkers. They were also known as the Windtalkers, but this was mainly by the Marines that they were supporting. It was not a moniker that they or the military used to denote them. So here are a few of the videos the we looked at in Dr. Hagerdorn's Native American History class:

This is from the AP. First person accounts of the Navajo Code Talkers, and the struggle to be acknowledged for the contributions they made.

This one is a picture essay, with some key facts set to music.
It is my real hope that the actions of the Navajo never again go unnoticed. This should be a portion of every American history class that is out there.
