John Kinsel Sr., one of three remaining Code Talkers and a decorated Marine, has passed at his home. He was 107 years old.
Rest easy in peace and paradise, brave marine.
On a personal note, I find it saddening that our Greatest Generation is slowly fading...into memory, into legends, into myths, into dreams, and I can't imagine the sacrifices everyone - from the men on the battlefield to the women who went into factory work and other hard labor to start building for us while still helping with the families at home - had to make.
I hope that we'll never have to make them again.
