Tuesday/title:Code Talker, chapter 7 Navajos Wanted/min:13,pgs:38-44

Ned wanted to join the war but he was too young and he was 14 and he had to be at least 19 to join the Marines and fight, but Ned really wanted to go to war but he thought that it wouldn't last that long. The next year, the war was still on and the Americans needed help, so they got some Navajos to help, but they had to speak English well and be over aged. Ned had a chance to join because most of the Navajos weren't born in a hospital so they didn't have a birth certificate and in order for the Americans to know if some one was old enough to go to war, they would ask a relative. Ned hurried home to convince his parents to lie so he could go to war and help the country. Ned's parents asked him to go outside for a moment to discuss, Ned could hear but he didn't understand. After a discussion, They asked Ned to walk back inside and they told him that it was two dangerous for a 15 year old and that maybe he could go to the next sign up. Ned was really bummed but he was loyal to his parents command and went back to school.
