WW2 Navajo Indian Code Talker display in Kayenta Arizona!!
One our great nations many top notch touring roads that I/we never did get to travel on our motorcycle adventures (if you are into such things - you are invited to check out a few of our touring adventures from the saddle of a touring bike by subscribing to my channel) was the Wolf Creek Pass adventure that C.W McCall sang about in one of his famous truck drivin songs of yesteryear. With time drawing short in our touring adventure days (geezerdom), we decided it was time to travel that memorable ride on 160 from Walsenburg CO to Yuba City AZ and see if we could find a feed store in downtown Pagosa Springs with those infamous truck crash markings on it!! We were not able to locate the feed store ol C.W. sang about but we did find many many other AWESOME things along this ride.. After spending a couple nights sky gazing in the Rockies and checking out some really cool National Parks and National Monuments, we discovered this incredible Navajo Code Talker display at a Burger King in Kayenta AZ.. Fact is, this BK is owned and operated by the Son of a Code Talker!! What a WONDERFUL way to honor the courage, honor and patriotism of this persons Father!! You ever get out that way, this place is an unforgettable viewing experience!!! A special THANK YOU to all who serve, will serve and did serve!!

Thank you to the Navajo Nation Museum for helping to co-ordinate the event, to Jared King of the Navajo Nation Office in Washington DC for taking a picture of Georges Brother Grandpa Oliver Kirk and Grandma Maggie as they awaited the ceremony.
A highlight in my life.

Navajo Code Talkers At Work In Arizona: The First 100 Years
NAVAJO CODE TALKERS | 2012
This photograph is featured in the book At Work In Arizona: The First 100 Years.
During the early months of World War II in 1941-1942, American military leaders were confounded by how quickly Japanese cryptologists were breaking the secret codes of the U.S. armed forces. An enterprising engineer, who had grown up on the Navajo Reservation, convinced the Marine Corps commanders in San Diego to recruit Navajos into the Marine Corps to develop an unbreakable code for communications in the Pacific campaign. The Navajo language was unwritten and unknown to the Japanese. The Marines recruited and trained four hundred twenty-one Navajos to serve in all six Marine divisions fighting in the Pacific, and the Code Talkers’ transmissions are credited as one of the key reasons the United States defeated the Japanese in World War II.
This book is presented by Alliance Bank of Arizona. The curator is Marilyn Szabo. The author is Stuart Rosebrook.
At Work in Arizona: The First 100 Years is available with a donation of $100 or more. All proceeds will benefit Arizona educational nonprofits through Alliance for Education Fund, a component fund of the Arizona Communities Foundation.

Navajo Code Talker Passes Away
February 11, 2014 - NAZ Today reflects on the life of Arthur Hubbard, a Navajo Code Talker and member of the Arizona Senate. Hubbard trained hundreds of Navajos to relay messages in their native language during World War II. The Japanese never were able to decipher the code. Hubbard was elected to the state senate in 1972 and served for 12 years. He was the first Native American to serve in the Arizona State Senate. Tribal leaders called him a powerful advocate for American Indians. Hubbard passed away at the age of 102. Services took place today in Scottsdale with his burial to follow in Phoenix.
On day dedicated to Arizona's tribes, a move to honor Hopi code talkers
Lawmakers are taking steps to recognize 10 Hopi Tribe members who served as code talkers during World War II. A resolution would honor those Hopis alongside Navajo code talkers, whose exploits have been memorialized in a statue outside the State Capitol and in the movies.
