Joe’s Navajo name means “going places.” He certainly did so during the war & long after. He was stationed on 16 battleships, translated messages from Navajo to English, honored his Navajo traditions as a medicine man & held many important roles in his community when he returned. — PolitiTweet.org

This week I honored Navajo Code Talker and Marine veteran Joe Vandever Sr. in the Congressional record. Joe passed away at age 96 earlier this year, leaving behind a loving family and an incredible legacy. His light will shine bright in his children and future generations. https://t.co/2izw8aq6CQ — PolitiTweet.org

Joe was fiercely proud of the Navajo language. According to him, “Our language is powerful,” & “we [won] the war with our tongue.” He wanted younger generations to learn the language and told them: ‘Don’t ever leave your language.’ — PolitiTweet.org
