By using the Navajo language, they were able to devise a code that was impossible for the Japanese to decipher.

This is an inspiring and patriotic program on The Navajo Code Talkers and how their one-thousand-year-old language helped the U.S. Marines win the war in the Pacific in World War II.

Learn how their language became the unbroken code that helped turn the tide at the Battle of Iwo Jima.

This program traces the major events of World War II that led up to the involvement of the Code Talkers and concludes with their participation in the 2009 New York City Veterans Day Parade.
