Navajo History part 2 💛

Navajo Code Talkers were a group recruited by the Marines to use their complex, unwritten traditional language to create an unbreakable military code during World War II.

They served in major Pacific campaigns, relaying vital orders and saving countless American lives.

The Code Talkers' contributions were kept secret until the program was declassified in 1968. But they did not receive any official honors, including the Congressional Gold Medal in 2001! Most had passed away to receive this recognition.
