Code talkers

My school is going to bring in 2 Navajo code talkers to talk to us about the war and the role they played in it. This is going to be so cool.

What do yall know about the code talkers that might help me out when im listening to thim on monday?

A quick google search:

But I believe you’ve already read it :wink:

American Sniper, I am excited for you. You are very lucky! I posted a picture of a group of code talkers in the Pictures of the South Pacific thread. Also, there is a code talkers dictionary that you might like to look at.

The men who come to talk to you might really appreciate it if you write them a message in the Navajo code. My friend and I were writing each other messages using Navajo Code for a while. I really do envy you that you have such a wonderful opportunity.

Here is an example of how the code worked for airplanes:
NAMES OF AIRPLANES
PLANES WO-TAH-DE-NE-IH AIR FORCE
DIVE BOMBER GINI CHICKEN HAWK
TORPEDO PLANE TAS-CHIZZIE SWALLOW
OBS. PLAN NE-AS-JAH OWL
FIGHTER PLANE DA-HE-TIH-HI HUMMING BIRD
BOMBER PLANE JAY-SHO BUZZARD
PATROL PLANE GA-GIH CROW
TRANSPORT ATSAH EAGLE

Here is a little sentence I wrote about the men who fought in WWII using words from the code: They unshackled the storm of friendly waves…all is well. If you want to give this to Veterans code talkers, that would be fine with me.

THEY CHA-GEE (Y) THE Y
UNSHACKLE NO-DA-EH-NESH-GOHZ UNSHACKLE
THE CHA-GEE BLUE-JAY
STORM NE-OL STORM
OF TOH-NI-TKAL-LO OCEAN FISH
FRIENDLY NEH-HECHO-DA-NE FRIENDLY
WAVE YILH-KOLH WAVE
ALL TA-A-TAH (A) ALL
IS SEIS SEVEN
WELL TO-HA-HA-DLAY WELL

Thanks man that will help out alot.

Oh, so I was too late in my reply. They already came to your school? How was it?

It was amazing. They were so cool. They talked about how they decided to go into the militarty. And they showed us codes, and IT WAS SO COOL. I wanted to Video Tape it but they would not let me.
