A long-awaited celebration is taking place on National Navajo Code Talkers Day this year.
On August 14, the Navajo Code Talkers Museum will finally break ground on a permanent facility. The 400-acre site in Tse Bonito, New Mexico, will be used to honor the Navajo Code Talkers who used the Dine language to help the United States and its allies achieve victory in World War II.
“Since our inception, we have been actively planning and strategizing for the fulfillment of that mission. Our vision statement: Educating the world about the official Navajo language code, and the culture of the brave men chosen to create it, to advance the victory in the Pacific Theater in WWII,” said Regan Hawthorne, a member of the museum board and a veteran of the U.S. Army.
