I wish you a good Memorial Day, with plenty of hot dogs on the grill and beer in the cooler.
Those of us who choose to defend ourselves in the class warfare begun by the one percent should, on Memorial Day, give some thought to a different one percent, the one percent of us who choose military service.
For generations, the Navajo have gone to war for the United States. Joining the military is a tradition among this Native group, with code talkers serving a historic and important role in World War II.
The latest Navajo generation is no exception, with many young men and women volunteering to fight in Iraq and Afghanistan; now among the many returning from years of service. But unlike their fellow men and women in service, they face unique challenges in building new lives.
