He referred to "boot camp was a breeze" since he had lived his youth in the outdoors, sleeping under the stars, walking everywhere. Of the 420 who served as Code Talkers, there are only 17 remaining.

Peter McDonald speaks to Historical League tour group
Thanks to Nancy Evans for arranging a surprise visit with Navajo Code Talker Peter McDonald during our bus tour at Navajo National Monument. Peter was very entertaining, telling many stories of his experiences during WWII. As did many of his fellow Code Talkers, he enrolled at a young age. He was 15.

Navajo National Monument
Hiking back to the caves and petroglyphs was part of the fun at the Navajo National Monument. The trails were well marked. We took the one with the great view but would love to go back and hike into the valley. Binoculars are needed to see the detail inside the dwellings. It was a quick stop but well worth it on our Historical League tour.
