The Navajo Code Talkers and the American Victory in World War II
The session will discuss the military’s use of the Navajo code talkers in the Pacific theater of World War II. Sources indicate that the code talkers were effective and necessary for operational orders during the United States’ island-hopping campaign. Join us to learn about a group of remarkable men who played an integral role in the United States’ victory in the Pacific. The Navajo code is the only unbroken code in military history and their culture largely influenced their role as Marines.
