Thank you SO MUCH for honoring these men today - those who know me well know this is one of my areas of interest.

It has been said that the Marines would not have taken Iwo Jima without the Code Talkers, which is part of the reason it's one of my personal dreams and goals to meet one of these heroes one day - to thank him and shake his hand. Extraordinary skill, unwavering dedication to this country - coupled with the things they endured - this is one of the most amazing stories in our nation's history, in my opinion.

Great topic, guys. Thanks again.
