They
were a small band of warriors who created an unbreakable code from the
ancient language of their people and changed the course of modern
history.
Known
as Navajo Code Talkers, they were young Navajo men who transmitted
secret communications on the battlefields of WWII. At a time when
America's best cryptographers were falling short, these modest
sheepherders and farmers were able to fashion the most ingenious and
successful code in military history. They drew upon their proud warrior
tradition to brave the dense jungles of Guadalcanal and the exposed
beachheads of Iwo Jima. Serving with distinction in every major
engagement of the Pacific theater from 1942-1945, their unbreakable code
played a pivotal role in saving countless lives and hastening the war's
end.
