This is only one of our Many Moab Memories.  Moab is a kind of place that makes memories whether you want them or not.  By definition this Moab Memory is joined at the hip with and dedicated to Randy Fabres who passed on to The Great Story Beyond August 18, 2005. Randy and I were room mates for quite awhile on North Leroux Street in Flagstaff.  Our Life Paths crossed for the first time in 1981 out at the South Rim of Grand Canyon and we went on to stuff together for more than a couple of decades thereafter.

Cheii art © 2023 by Keith Jim, Rock Point, AZ https://www.facebook.com/KTJ1Comics/ So, she, her family and Navajo Navy veterans camei up with a number of mottos written in Navajo like “Keyah doo iina yich’á indaabah” – “to serve to protect the land and way of life” – and “Tałkaa Silao Tsoh ast’aa yiniił” – “military rescue warrior.” Eventually, they chose Iiná yiich’áá’ nidabaahí bilį’į’, which means “the vessel of the protectors of life.” The crest itself was designed to include an illustration of a na’ashǫ́’ii dich’ízhii, more popularly known as cheii, or horned toad. Cheii is depicted in the middle of a shield with the Navajo motto underneath it. Billy-Upshaw said the Navajo Nation Department of Historic Preservation worked with the Council and the Navy on the design. https://www.dvidshub.net/video/895104/christening-usns-navajo https://www.defense.gov/News/Releases/Release/Article/3504905/navy-to-christen-future-usns-navajo/ https://navajotimes.com/reznews/for-al...
