Navajo Code Talkers

Navajo Code Talkers developed a Navajo language code that was regarded as the only unbreakable code in modern military history. As young Navajo men serving in the United States Marine Corps, they performed unique and exemplary military service that saved countless lives and hastened the end of World War II in the Pacific theater. Major Howard Connor, USMC 5th Marine Division Signal Officer, said that without the Navajos, the Marines would never have taken Iwo Jima. Their contributions were renowned for helping secure the success of United States military forces during World War II, and they were honored for their valor and patriotism.
