Cpl. Henry Bahe Jr. (left) and Pfc. George H. Kirk, Navajo code talkers, are shown operating a portable radio in this December 1943 U.S. Marine Corps photograph taken on the island Bougainville, part of present-day Papua New Guinea. The Senate debated Thursday, March 1, 2007, whether to expand a resolution calling for a postage stamp honoring Navajo code talkers to include code talkers from other tribes. The amendment was defeated after a sharp and prolonged discussion. (U.S. Marine Corps, Courtesy of National Archives)

PFC Kirk's folding stock Riesing is interesting. That makes two pics with three Riesing's. The code talkers must have liked them.....Frank
