The Squid Calendar

Today is National Navajo Code Talkers Day.  The Code Talkers were a group of Native American soldiers who used their own language as an unbreakable code to prevent critical information from being compromised.

As gbenton789 discusses in Native Warriors, several Native American languages were actually used during WWII.

Today, we remember the work done by the brave Code Talkers.
They are heroes.

On June 6, 1944, D-Day the Allied forces landed on Normandy changing the course of the war.  Today, we remember the lives lost in that battle, and the bravery of the men who fought in it.
