X-WR-CALDESC:4 May 1942: 29 Navajos reported to Fort Defiance\, Arizona\, t
 he first of roughly 400 to be trained as code talkers. Make sure to check

 \n\nChester Nez (see link below) was one of the original 29 Navajo code ta
 lkers and he lied about his age in order to enlist in the U.S. Marines Cor
 p. Then he and the 28 other Navajo men went on to develop a code based upo
 n their native language. That code became invaluable -- saving lives and e
 nabling the success of many operations. This unbreakable communications sy
 stem helped ensure the American defeat of the Japanese in the South Pacifi
 c. \n\nWhile the U.S. had adequate cryptographic systems for written commu
 nications\, the only effective scrambler for voice communications was unsu
 ited for tactical use. The code talkers provided absolute security and spe
 ed of encryption and decryption when seconds counted on the battlefield. T
 heir frontline service\, keeping U.S. tactical communications invulnerable
  to enemy eavesdroppers\, saved thousands of American and Allied lives. \n
 \nAfter the war\, the code talkers were instructed to keep their role in t
 he war secret. The code was finally declassified in 1968\, 23 years after 
 the war's end. In 2013\, the Native American Code Talkers were the first t
 o be inducted as a group into the Cryptologic Hall of Honor. In December 2
 014\, the National Cryptologic Museum updated the Native American Code Tal
 ker Exhibit.
