Default Last of the Wind Talkers

Quote:
The last of the 29 Navajos whose tribal language was used to develop a code that stumped the Japanese during the Second World War has died aged 93.
Chester Nez, of Albuquerque, New Mexico, died Wednesday morning of kidney failure, Judy Avila, who helped Nez write his memoirs, said.

The last of 29 men whose efforts saved countless lives and hastened the end of the war...

To Chester Nez and his brother Wind Talkers, rest in peace and thank you for your service...
