Navajo code talkers

as children they went to boarding school. the boarding school was catholic, and small. they would have BBQ on sunday and would cook meat. also on thoughs days they would have to bring their own salt if they wanted the meat to taste good. when they heard about the attack on pearl harbor they felt a "metal anger creep into our minds"says Keith Little. people before WWII just didn't what them to speak it, they wanted everyone to be the same and speak they same language. but after and during they needed them to speak navajo,because japanese didn't know Navajo, so ironic. the code was in Navajo and for every letter in the alphabet they had a word. like for the letter G the code word would be goat then the Navajo word for goat. so every word they would say was written out by the first letter of they code word. so if they said snake, army, mountain, that would spell out sam. (just an example) when they returned home they didn't not get the welcome they deserved. they had to ride the bus to get back home. even their families didn't know what their job was. because they were not allowed to say what their job was. it took about 60 years after the war for them to be recognized for their service in 2001.
