August 14 is a day to remember the once top-secret group, the Navajo Code Talkers. Navajo Code Talkers Day was established by a proclamation made by President Ronald Reagan in 1982. Navajo Code Talkers Day is a day that holds great importance in the history of the U.S. This is the day to recognize and celebrate the contributions of the Navajo marines during World War II. Navajo marines encoded and transmitted messages using complex Navajo language-based code during a time when secret communication was essential to win a war. The code was never broken by Japanese forces in the Pacific and proved to be of great assistance to the U.S. Marines. The Navajo Code Talkers successfully transmitted more than 800 messages without error and helped the U.S win the war. On this day, August 14th we honor the great American heroes and their service to the nation.
HJHS would like to wish Dr. Koerperich a very Happy Birthday Today!!
