I found this cover interesting. I know it’s Time Magazine but it’s also a reminder that time is not promised to us and we should do all we can do to be good to each other with the time that we are given.

And I believe Dolly did just that. Her kindness like her music walked into rooms that she was never in, soothing and calming and just making life better. Thank you for being not only an incredible artist but also an authentic soul who cared about humanity in such a special way. I’ve always admired you and you will be missed especially as this world grows colder.

On this day we remember and honor the Navajo Code Talkers.

#NavajoCodeTalkerDay

In 1942 the Marine Corps recruited 29 young Navajo men to serve in the Pacific during World War II. They developed a way to use their native Diné language as a code to send messages during combat operations —while communicating over telephones and radio.

Since Diné, at the time, was only a spoken language, there was no written alphabet and neither the Japanese Army nor Navy were ever able to crack the code.

From 1942 to 1945, Navajo code talkers participated in every Marine assault in the Pacific. In total there were around 420 Navajo Code Talkers between 18 and 25 years of age. Sixteen were killed in action.

They were able to encode, send and decode a short message in as few as 20 seconds.

During the first two days of the battle of Iwo Jima, over 800 messages were sent and received by six code talkers without making any errors.

Sadly, when they returned home, they were not allowed to tell anyone what they did during the war. There were no celebrations, parades, or ceremonies recognizing their efforts during the war. Their work remained classified until 1968.

In 1982 President Reagan declared August 14 "National Navajo Code Talker Day," to honor their service to the nation.

Today we honor the Navajo Code Talkers who served with extraordinary courage and developed an unbreakable code that helped win World War II. Arizona is home to the Navajo Nation, and we are proud to honor their service and sacrifice today and every day.
