On behalf of NHHR we would like to thank everyone involved in making this a successful event to honor our heroes. Thank you, Honor Riders. In December 2006, the Navajo Nation Council established Aug. 14 of each year as Navajo Nation Code Talkers Day and as a tribal holiday. Today the Navajo Nation is recognizing the contribution and legacy of our heroes the Navajo Code Talkers.
More than 400 Navajo men were recruited by the U.S. Marines during World War II to develop and utilize a code in their native language, which was used to transmit military messages, according to the National Museum of the American Indian.
Their legacy our freedom! ...
