A Year in the Life
of a Czech Plush Monkey. |
Saturday, 14th Aug. Monkey joins Vášek standing at attention in honor of the Navajo Code Talkers who were key to the Allies winning World War II in the Pacific. The Japanese could never crack a "code" based on the Diné language. Monkey knows people whose parents or grandparents are Code Talkers and he never forgets how much we all owe those verterans. That's why the movie Windtalkers disappointed Monkey so much. It got the emphasis all wrong. Click that link and think. Why would an Anglo be the Star-of-the-Show when the film is supposed to be about Native American Heros? |
