I wrote this in regards to Arizona’s Quarter Designs and sent it to the Navajo Times. They printed it and sent me a complimentary copy. I prefaced it with: Regarding Arizona’s Quarter designs let us consider something besides a pretty face.

 If the Code talkers would have been put on the quarter would it be meaningful? What about the other tribes? What do you think?

                                 

                                  

                                   Navajo Code Talkers                                             

 Born to America and for the Navajo on their reservation

 In Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah living as one great nation

 In World War 2 an idea came about that would be the Navajos calling

 Coded messages to confuse the enemy help keep America from falling

 In Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima, other battles to name a few

 The Navajo volunteers kept ahead of what the enemy would do

 The enemy couldn’t decode the words from our side that were spoken

  Saving countless American lives with the code that couldn’t be broken

 

  Some of the battles that were fought if it weren’t for these great men

  May have had a different outcome for America if we didn’t win

  Their contributions will be remembered forever with pride for all to see

“The Warriors- The Navajo Code Talkers”- with gratitude from you and me

 

  Lasting glory is for all these men that accomplished such great things

  America still reigns supreme for all and the Eagle still has its wings

  If you talk about some real Americans in the truest sense of the word

  It’s Navajo Code Talkers who have blessed NE-HE-MAH with their births
