For those who have never read the history of these guys... it is remarkable. And, no, the stupid Nicholas Cage movie does not do them justice.

Rest In Peace, American!

And Korea and Vietnam. Warriors are warriors... braves are braves.

The first Americans have probably shed more blood and tears per capita than most.

What is the saying??? All gave some... some gave all. Yup... that.

He had a long run! I hope it was a good one.

Their contribution couldn't even begin to be enumerated. The ability to have totally secure communications from front to rear can't be understated. The code was never broken and contrary to popular belief, it wasn't just the language. They encoded that, so even if you managed to capture a native speaker and bring him back, he still couldn't decode the messages. Brilliant.

And yes, the movie sucks. Like most Cage movies.
