There aren’t many Navajo Code Talkers left in the world. Military officials say maybe 20 are still living. Two of these World War II heroes traveled to Fort Worth Friday for a rare town hall meeting.

And the world’s royalty of rust descended on Dallas this week for a conference called Corrosion 2015.
