First, today's weather:

A t-storm around in the p.m.. High: 102 Low: 82.

📢 I’m looking for business owners and marketers in Phoenix who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Phoenix Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that’s you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top three stories in Phoenix today:

1. Thomas H. Begay, one of the last living Navajo Code Talkers, spoke at an event at the Arizona Capitol on Sunday honoring Navajo Code Talkers Day. The group participated in all U.S. Marine assaults during World War 2 in the Pacific theater between 1942 and 1945. They conveyed messages through a code that wasn't broken.
