Allen Dale June | Visit Guest Book
Enlarged Photo WINDOW ROCK, Ariz. (AP) — Allen Dale June, one of the 29 original Navajo Code Talkers who confounded the Japanese during World War II by transmitting messages in their native language, has died. He was 91.
June died of natural causes Wednesday night at a veterans hospital in Prescott, his wife, Virginia, told The Associated Press on Thursday.
His health had been failing since earlier this year when he was hospitalized for a urinary tract infection and kidney failure because he wasn't drinking enough water, his wife said. He was hospitalized again two months ago after visiting family on the Navajo Nation and was transferred from a Flagstaff hospital to Prescott, where he was under round-the-clock care.
The Code Talkers took part in every assault the Marines conducted in the Pacific from 1942 to 1945. They sent thousands of messages without error on Japanese troop movements, battlefield tactics and other communications critical to the war's ultimate outcome.
Several hundred Navajos served as Code Talkers during the war, but a group of 29 that included June developed the code based on their native language. Their role in the war wasn't declassified until 1968.
June, who attained the rank of sergeant, received the Congressional Gold Medal in 2001 along with other members of the original Code Talkers.
With his death, only two of the 29 are still living.
"The Navajo Nation lost a great warrior," Tribal Council Speaker Lawrence T. Morgan said in a statement. "His unique service to his country brought positive attention to the Navajo Nation. He will be missed."
June first tried to sign up for the Marines in his hometown of Kaibeto on the Navajo Nation, but a recruiter told him he was too young. He then traveled to the reservation town of Chinle to enlist — because he figured people there wouldn't recognize him — and he could lie about his age and forge his father's signature, Virginia June said.
Even after the code was declassified in 1968, June said little about his role as a Code Talker because he viewed it as bragging, his wife said. Anyone who saw him in the past several years might have been able to guess he was a Code Talker, as he wore a red Navajo Code Talker cap with his name on it wherever he went and a black leather jacket with "Marines" written across the back. He completed his look with a bolo tie that had a large turquoise stone.
Virginia June routinely handed out cards bearing Allen June's picture and rank in the Marines that he had autographed.
Besides his wife, Allen June is survived by 10 children. Funeral services are scheduled for Monday in Page, with burial in Kaibeto.

"We're seeing a re-emergence of constitutional principles and federalism across the country. ... Given the overreach of Washington and public disgust with politicians' disregard for the people's will, a healthy dose of state sovereignty and a reaffirmation of federalism is a good thing. ... People of all races, ethnicities, religions and creeds are concerned about the direction of the republic. Missouri's and Arizona's reassertions of the idea of state sovereignty and of federalist principles may be a sign of a new and long overdue American revolution." --Gregory L. Schneider, associate professor of history at Emporia State University

par for the course
For The Course
Now that Barack Hussein Obama has given his support for the building of the mosque near the site of the 9/11 massacre in New York I only have one question.
What did you expect? Is there anybody naïve enough to think that this president would stand up for the American side for once? To take into consideration the raw feelings of families who are still suffering over the loss of loved ones at the hands of Muslim murderers.
Did you expect him to abandon for once his self righteous mantle of political correctness and say that the area around the Trade Towers is too sensitive to allow the very religion whose followers were dancing in the street while New York City and the Pentagon were in flames to build a monument to their sordid triumph a stone’s throw from the big hole in the ground here these two magnificent buildings once stood.
The building of the mosque in this part of Manhattan has little to do with religion and a whole lot to do with the Muslim tradition of building mosques and shrines in places where they have conquered or struck a serious blow for jihad. A good example is the temple mount in Jerusalem where the Dome of the Rock and the al Aqsa mosque stand on Temple Mount, the most holy site in all of Israel.
These people don’t want a house of worship, they want to make a political statement and Mayor Bloomberg, President Obama and all the rest of the “America last” clabber heads just can’t wait to show the world just how fair minded and enlightened they are by signing off on the project.
They should have asked for a missile base, I’m sure Obama could have found a way to rationalize it.
That mosque will be one of the most important recruiting tools al-Qaeda could ever have. What it says is, “see we’re winning, the Americans are weak, they play right into our hands, come and join the cause and we’ll take this stupid country right under their noses.”
There is no practical reason to build a mosque in the middle of Manhattan Island where the traffic is a nightmare and there is so much animosity against it.
The imam who wants to build the mosque claims he wants to build it as a sign of peace and understanding between Islam and America.
That has got to be an out and out lie. If they really wanted to promote understanding they would not insist on rubbing the faces of hurting Americans in the dirt of their treachery.
Most of the people in this country don’t have any idea what is taught in a lot of the Islamic mosques around the world, hatred for the Jews and the "Great Satan," America. It is the duty of every Muslim male to kill the infidels and to recruit young innocents who they convince that their reward for murdering women and children is actually going to be an eternity in a male dominated paradise with beautiful virgins at their beck and call.
Middle eastern television openly declares their hatred for Jews and openly advocates their destruction.
And here we sit, the land of the free and the home of the brave, with a president, who is literally destroying the greatest economy the world has ever known, can’t bring himself to say, ”War on Terror,” has surrounded himself with enough collage degrees to paper the south wall of the Grand Canyon but not enough common sense to tell the difference between a cartwheel and a cow pie.
Yes, here we sit with a president who had a mandate to do just about anything he wanted to, who has control of both houses of Congress, who has appointed two supreme court justices, and things just keep getting worse.
Well let me tell you something America, and you can believe it now or believe it later.
Things are going to continue to get worse because we’ve got a bunch of crooks in Congress and a dangerous ideologue in the White House and if they’re not stopped they’re going to bring America to her knees, and getting back up is going to be a booger.
And another thing, just because somebody wears the label of Republican doesn’t mean that they’ll do any better. We need to get our minds off political parties and on good people, whatever party they belong to.
The situation has reached critical mass and still all Obama can do is blame all our troubles on George Bush, which in my book, is a sign of a petulant, petty man seems to think he’s playing some kind of game.
Even though the cards seem stacked against them, I know there are a lot of people who are just as determined that the mosque will not be built as Obama, Bloomberg and company are that it will be built.
Fight on my brothers and sisters. Never give up.
Note to cherry pickers--let me say it in my own words before you try to make something out of this column that it isn’t intended to say.
I know that all Muslims and all mosques are not like the ones I described above. This is not an indictment of any decent peace loving human being regardless of their race or religion.
But for the ones who want to destroy my country take it for what it’s worth. You’ve got a whole lot of enemies out here and they’re not all limp-wristed, intellectual milksops like most of the ones who are supporting the mosque.
Me and Bubba don’t like it, and we ain’t afraid to say so.
What do you think?
Pray for our troops, and for our country.
God Bless America

Building permit

I recently applied for a building permit for a new house. It's going to be 100 ft tall and 400 ft wide with 9 gun turrets at various heights and barred windows all over the place and a loud outside entertainment sound system. It will have parking for 200 cars and will be painted snot green with pink trim.
The City Council told me to forget it... AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN!
So I sent in the application again, but this time I called it a Mosque.
Work starts on Monday.
