Code Talker: Chapter 14

During #WWII, Navajo code talkers used their unique, unbreakable language to protect American military communications -- a talent that was especially helpful during the Battle of #IwoJima and throughout the Pacific. On National Navajo Code Talker Day, we honor members of the Navajo Nation and all Native Americans whose vital roles in the war saved countless lives. #HonorThem #KnowYourMil | U.S. Department of War
