                       HONORING HOPI CODE TALKERS

  (Mr. CRANE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CRANE. Mr. Speaker, today I rise in proud recognition of the Hopi 
Code Talkers and to honor their extraordinary contributions during 
World War II.
  At a time when the free world stood in the brink of destruction, ten 
courageous Hopi men answered the call and helped turn the tide of world 
history. Using their native language, these legendary warriors relayed 
critical intelligence during combat, creating an unbreakable line of 
communication that helped give America the upper hand.
  They served valiantly with the U.S. Army's 81st Wildcat Division and 
the 5th Air Force, shielding vital operations and saving countless 
lives.
  This week, members of the Hopi Tribe are hosting their annual event, 
honoring their important legacies. On behalf of all Americans, we are 
grateful for the heroic efforts of the Hopi Code Talkers.
