To date, the Navajo Code Talkers code remains the only unbroken code in the history of modern military codes. Operationally, the code talker was much faster than using encryption devices. Typical tactical messages could be processed in 20 sec—former coding machine would take 30+ minutes. On Iwo Jima, 5th Marine Division Signal Officer, Major Conner confirmed that command and control relied on six Navajo, around-the-clock radio nets. In the first two days, over 800 messages were handled without error. His assessment was, “Were it not for the Navajo code talkers, the Marines never would have taken Iwo Jima.” In their Pacific campaign, the code talkers were credited with saving thousands of American and allies’ lives. In spite of code talkers’s decisive role in defeating the Japanese, their contributions were not publicized because the code they developed remained classified Top Secret. When they were discharged, they were instructed, “When you get home, you don’t talk about what you did—But, the code, never, never, don’t mention; don’t talk about it.” There were no “leaks”! After the codes were declassified in 1968, people began to learn more about their achievements that honored their nation and brought victory. The first public celebration was the 22nd reunion of the 4th Marine Division Association held in Chicago in June 1969. The Code Talkers were the Reunion’s honorees, and 16 attended. Each received a medallion inspired by a painting of Ira Hayes with the famous second flag-raising on Mt. Suribachi in the background. Sally McClain, author of Navajo Weapon, observes, “For the first time since the war ended, the Navajo code talkers found a measure of the importance of what they had done during the war” —i.e., 24 years earlier. The Federal Government then continued the recognitions: *In 1982, President Reagan declared August 14 “Navajo Code Talkers Day.” *On July 26, 2001, President G.W. Bush presented Congressional Gold and Silver medals to the Code Talkers: Gold medals for the “original 29” (5 presented personally to the surviving awardees) who developed the code, and Silver ones for those who served later. Inscribed, in Navajo, on each medal was, “The Navajo language was used to defeat the enemy.” *Congress passed the Code Talkers Recognition Act of 2008 which recognized all Native American code talkers who served in both World War I and World War II. CONCLUSION The code developed by the Navajo Code Talkers which nullified Japanese code-busting skills plus the battle heroics of Japanese- American 442nd RCT, anticipated JFK’s admonition by contributing their BEST when their country needed their honorable service the MOST. We must honor their patriotism and heroism. Learning of these contributions, devoid of public recognition for so many years, is our major takeaway gleaned from the 2017 trip … not the original, worthy purpose to appreciate the National Park’s undeniable beauty and complexity. It’s a memory we pray can be revitalized. But the risk is that contemporary events suggest that JFK’s warning “Ask not what your country can do for you” may now be considered “old-fashioned”, weakening the fighting spirit that inspired the Navajo Code Takers and Japanese-Americans of the 442nd RCT to do what they did for their country and win the war. It is now our responsibility to honor them and their legacy by “doing what we can do for our country” in an increasingly dangerous world! �� MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS AMERICA! p.24 The Pinehurst Gazette, Inc.
