🪶 Navajo Code Talkers Day

Today, we honor the extraordinary legacy of the Navajo Code Talkers, whose courage, ingenuity, and service played a critical role in securing Allied victory during World War II.

Using the Navajo language to develop an unbreakable code, these United States Marines transmitted vital battlefield communications that were never deciphered by enemy forces. Their bravery, dedication, and unique contributions helped save countless lives and remain one of the most remarkable stories in our nation's military history.

Riverside County Veterans Services proudly recognizes the Navajo Code Talkers and all Native American service members whose sacrifices, traditions, and commitment have strengthened our Armed Forces and our nation.
