I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

Sad day on the Rez when Chester walked on. Does bring to mind that many Navajo men fought in Europe too. One lost friend was first in on D-Day as a combat engineer. Because he was "Chief" they put him out front to scout through the fierce fighting in the hedgerows. Sadly, he nursed a resentment because the Code Talkers got recognition and he and his European Theater Navajos did not. Which was fiercer fighting - Europe or the Pacific? They were all brave men who served a country that didn't even allow them to vote at that time.
