We woke up early the next day ate chow and dressed in our uniforms. Many of us would march in the parade while some of us including me would go behind the scenes and finish what preparations were left over from the day before. As the parade endedwe escorted the Code Talkers to their seats and the event began. During the ceremony the Young Marines lined the sidewalk to the monument. As the wreath passed by the Young Ma- rines saluted and ever so slowly cut their salute. When the wreath had passed before everybody it was placed in front of the monument the guides dipped the guidon flags and one final salute was given by the National Young Marine of the Year and the event First Sergeant. Afterwards we went back to the hotel ate chow and we crawled onto our racks and rested for the upcoming Genera- tions of Honor 5K run. When we woke up the next day we stretched for the big run. I decided I wasnt going to stop for water breaks. My legs were in pain but once I could see the finish line I sprinted as fast as I could. I ran straight through and surrounded by my fellow Young Marines I felt a feeling of accomplishment and achievement that I will never forget. Editors Note From Brenda McNulty In years past I have had the pleasure of working with many notable Young Marines who were billetted as my personal Scribe for Navajo Code Talkers Day NCTD. This year it was my utmost pleasure to work with this Young Marine who shared my passion for the Navajo Code Talkers. Although I can be brutal at times Scribe kept his cool and was always there when I needed him. He answered my every call or scream in some cases and remained professional throughout. It is one of the hardest billets to have at the event and I was extremely proud of his performance. Next year my NCTD Scribe will have some major boots to fill and I can only hope that YMGySgt Yeung is able to give them some pointers to make the event a success.

Plan to Attend Next YearYou Wont Regret It By YMSSgt Laree Osteen Orlando FL Devil Dogs This year I had the opportunity to go to Arizona for Na- tional Navajo Code Talker Day for the very first time. It was an amazing experience for me and every other Young Marine that was there. I was able to meet some of the Code Talkers which was an honor. Also learned some of their language and enjoyed some of their amazing food. I had such a fun time and would love to go again next year. And for any Young Marines that havent been I highly suggest to try and make it next year too... you wont regret it Young Marines Proud to Take Part in a Special Honor Young Maries were asked to refold a flag used the previous week at a Navajo Code Talkers grandsons funeral Participating in this solemn ceremony were YMGYSgt Brian WolfeYMGySGt Richard CaseyYMGy Sgt Hannah Witham and YMSSgt Zach Taylor.
