One of the few remaining Navajo Code Talkers, Samuel Sandoval, died at the age of 98.
“Sam was a great warrior. (He) served his country well; especially using the top secret Navajo Code,” Navajo Code Talker and Navajo Code Talker Association President Peter MacDonald said in a text message to The Arizona Mirror.
“He wanted to tell all Navajo families and (the) younger generation the importance of our Navajo language,” he added. “He’ll be terribly missed.”
The Navajo Code talkers were a group of U.S. Marines who used their Native language to transmit messages during World War II. Only three are still alive today: MacDonald, John Kinsel Sr. and Thomas H. Begay.

Sandoval was born in 1922 in Nageezi, New Mexico, and enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps on March 26, 1943. He completed basic training at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego, California, where the original 29 Navajo Code Talkers arrived in September 1942. The men were responsible for developing the unbreakable code used across the Pacific during World War II.
Sandoval served five combat tours, including Guadalcanal, Bougainville, Guam, Peleliu and Okinawa, and was honorably discharged in 1946.

During Sandoval’s military service, he earned a Navy Unit Commendation Ribbon, a Combat Action Ribbon, a China Service Medal, a World War II Victory Medal, a Navy Occupation Service Medal with Asia Clasp, and an Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal with a silver star. Sandoval also received the 2022 American Spirit Award for Bravery from the National WWII Museum.

Everything seems to be working well. Please report problems.
He played better. (Which owes to the fact that he played.) We’ll see if he makes the team. My suspicion is that he will; it’s not much of a favor to Urban Meyer to bring him in just to then turn around and cut him, after all.Report
Tom Brady was giving one of his usual “right before the big game” rants. This was rant #4, itself a variant of one of the last major monologues in The Outlaw Josey Wales.
“Now remember, when things look bad and it looks like you’re not gonna win, then you gotta start hating the Giants. I mean hating them from the bottom of the soles of your feet to the top of your haircut! Hate them and hate them and hate them. If you waver for a second, you’ll lose! You *NEED* to *HATE* the *GIANTS*! That’s just the way it is!”
Tim Tebow quietly finished his laces and looked at Tom Brady. “I try to be a good Christian and that means that I don’t hate anybody. Even the Giants.” Tim Tebow quietly stood up. “Though I do pity them.”Report
Aaaaaand Tim Tebow was released.
There goes that.Report
Now he’ll both win and lose every game he doesn’t play in.Report
