Navajo Code Talkers on Parade as carved by Navajo Folk Artist, Renzo Reed
Code Talkers were employed by the US combat forces to communicate with one another via the radio in the heat of battle. By speaking their native Navajo language, they befuddled the Japanese who were listening into radio transmissions with the intention of breaking the American's code.Post war comments from captured Japanese radiooperators indicated that the ploy was successful.We salute the service of Jerry C. Begay Sr and all other patriotic American Navajo Code Talkers who were instrumental in our winning in the Pacific Theater.Thank you, Jerry. Thank you all.
