Tommy Druen: Words matter

Previous Column: Literacy was a treasure for Clem Coomer

By Tommy Druen

When the United States entered World War II, it quickly became clear that winning wouldn't depend solely on firepower. It would require something far more subtle: secrecy. Our military faced a critical vulnerability--not in troops or equipment, but in language. The Axis powers had proven themselves adept at intercepting communications and cracking codes. It is often said that knowledge is power, but in warfare, information means survival. Allied encryption methods were too slow. Codes were too fragile. What we needed wasn't just security--it was speed and secrecy rolled into one.

The War Department knew it had to try something radically different. Fortunately, America had an asset our adversaries did not--our Indigenous peoples. In 1942, the Marine Corps recruited twenty-nine young Navajo men, fluent in their native tongue, and tasked them with creating an unbreakable code based on their language. It worked. The Navajo Code Talkers transmitted thousands of vital messages across the Pacific Theater. Not one was ever deciphered.

Other Native nations, including the Comanche, Lakota, and Cree, made similar contributions in Europe. There's a certain poetic justice in that. For generations, Native languages had been suppressed, mocked, or forcibly erased. But in this moment, that same culture--so often overlooked--helped save the lives of thousands of Americans and win the war.

It's a story I come back to often--because it reminds me how powerful and precious language can be. But I also know how language can exclude just as easily as it can protect.

LWC students refuel at Spring Midnight Breakfast

A fist bump gains admission to 'a great Lindsey Wilson tradition.'

From Duane Bonifer

Lindsey Wilson College students refueled for the stretch run of 2025 spring finals with the college's semiannual "Midnight Breakfast" on late Tuesday night, April 29, 2025.

More than 420 of the college's students showed up at Roberta D. Cranmer Dining & Conference Center for food, fellowship and recharging at the spring edition of "Midnight Breakfast," which is usually held in the waning hours on Tuesday of the week of final examinations.

The semiannual event, which is more than two decades old, is sponsored by the Lindsey WIlson Office of Student Services. Members of the college's residence life staff serve students meals prepared by the Lindsey Wilson food services staff.

"It's one of my favorite events we hold at Lindsey Wilson because it gives students a chance to break away from studying for a few hours, hang out with friends, and check in with members of our residence life and student services staffs," said Dean of Students Chris Schmidt. "Students always say it's one of their favorite events of the semester. It's become such a great Lindsey Wilson tradition."

Special guests visit CBC on Tuesday morning

From Mark Fudge

Except for snow and ice and Christmas Eve or Christmas morning, the Columbia Baptist Church Men's Prayer Group meets at 7amCT every Tuesday morning. Not only men from the church but other men of faith in the community gather for a time of devotion and prayer.

On Tuesday morning, April 29, 2025, the group had special guests. Sports missionaries from Egypt, Alber and Tony, FCA Director Brett Bradford and Russell County FCA Coordinator Donald Gallito visited the group.

Sports ministers Alber and Tony shared their experiences as well as their persecution they face in sharing the gospel through their camps and teams in Egypt. Egypt is a nation that is 85% Muslim and only 10% claim to be Christians.

Alber and Tony talked about some of the rewards and tasks that they face in their ministries. The two men were on a tour of Kentucky, Tennessee and Mississippi. They serve through FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) and YCA (Youth Camps of America).
