14 August - National Navajo Code Talkers Day in USA
The Navajo Code Talkers were successful because they provided a fast, secure and error-free line of communication by telephone and radio during World War II in the Pacific. The 29 initial recruits developed an unbreakable code, and they were successfully trained to transmit the code under intense conditions.
By the end of the war, some 400 Navajos had served as Code Talkers and 13 had been killed in action. The Code Talkers kept their work a secret for decades until the military declassified the program in 1968.
