United States Marine Corps - World War II

"Were it not for the Navajos, the Marines would never have taken Iwo Jima"
Major Howard Connor, USMC 5th Marine Division Signal Officer

In recognition of the Navajo Code Talkers who distinguished themselves in developing a Navajo language code - the only unbreakable code in modern military history. As members of the United States Marine Corps these young Navajo men performed a unique and exemplary military service that saved countless lives and hastened the end of World War II in the Pacific theater. This memorial is a tribute to the renowned contributions the Navajo Code Talkers made to the success of the Unites States military forces during World War II and honor these remarkable individuals for their valor and patriotism
Dedicated this twenty-eighth day of February 2008.
