Hedy Lamarr, often proclaimed “the most beautiful woman in the world.” The 26-yr-old Lamarr was thriving in Hollywood when, in September 1940, N**i U-boats hunted down & sank a cruise ship trying to evacuate 90 British schoolchildren to Canada. 77 drowned in the bleak north Atlantic. Lamarr, a Jewish immigrant from N**i-occupied Austria, who had been making America her home since 1938, was outraged. She fought back by applying her engineering skills to development of a sonar sub-locator used in the Atlantic for the benefit of the Allies.The principles of her work are now incorporated into modern Wi-Fi, CDMA and Bluetooth technology,and this work led to her to be inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2014.

On this day, we honor the service of the Navajo Code Talkers, who served during battles in the Pacific Theater during World War II.

The Navajo Code, which substituted or used words in their language for English words, was used to send messages on the battlefield between units and to headquarters. The code was never broken by the Japanese. In 1982, President Ronald Reagan declared Aug. 14 to be National Navajo Code Talkers Day.

For more information on the Code Talkers, please visit https://bit.ly/37Ezk1b and to read the story of one of the Code Talkers, visit https://bit.ly/3sgGZw0.

It’s been 75 years since the very first National Veterans Day Parade in America, right here in downtown Birmingham! We are the original, therefore the longest-running in the country! There’s even a marker in Linn Park, honoring the tenacious Raymond Weeks, who saw it through to fruition. Registration to be in the parade, or to volunteer (we need you!), is done through the website, www.nationalveteransday.org. So is the purchase of tickets to the awards dinner, open to the public, held the night before the parade. So mark your calendars, and register in the coming weeks. Happy Veterans Day!
