An interesting and strategic piece of our history. Thank you for your service!

With deep sorrow, we remember Chester Nez, the last surviving member of the original 29 Navajo Code Talkers, who passed away from kidney failure. Born in New Mexico in 1921, Nez endured forced assimilation at a federal boarding school where speaking Navajo was forbidden—yet the very language he was once punished for using became a decisive weapon in World War II. In 1942, he joined the U.S. Marine Corps and helped develop an unbreakable code based on Navajo, using words like “turtle” for tank and “chicken hawk” for dive bomber. The code played a vital role in Pacific battles such as Iwo Jima, saving countless lives. With his passing, a powerful link to courage, culture, and quiet heroism is gone—but his legacy endures
