C'mon peeps, this is our chance to honor our troops for all they do and give for us, in a unique and one of a kind way that only we , as ab artist's can. Doesn't matter weather ya think your good enough or not, it's the point of honoring our troops. So lets see some more entries here !

Thank you Yardnut. When I was small, living in the southwest deserts of Arizona, my Dad had a Navajo friend that he worked with. He would invite him for dinner every so often. His name was Ira Hayes, and he was the most gentle, kind man I have ever met. He was a Code Talker.

[redneck]

K D your code talker is very well done

[KwitcherBitchin]

Great work and very cool KD, I'm trying to think of the name of movie "Code Talkers" or maybe "Wind Talkers" , very good movie with Nicholas Cage, it was about these guys. Very riveting story of the troubles they went thru in war and on a personal level. Great work though, you did them justice........................................... .............Kwit

[KDSilverBrush]

Thank you redneck. Thank you Kwit. I have heard about the movie, haven't seen it though. May be worth a rental, eh.
