I didn't know they used Canadian Code Talkers, or that there were any. Nice share, LTC (Join to see).

Yes we are, Out of that group one old china vet is still going. I think he's 97 and just went into a assisted living, still mowing his own grass a year ago. The Korean guys are leaving just as fast and Viet nam people are not far behind.
