Legacy of Navajo code talker lives in Marine descendent

Lance Cpl. Devin Bidtah, a field radio operator with Regimental Combat Team 2, speaks about his grandfather's service as a Navajo code talker in WWII. His grandfather, Leroy Johns, was part of a proud tradition of Native Americans who served their country in the Pacific theater. Navajo code talkers helped bring an end to the war for Marines. Multimedia production by Sgt. Dean Davis.

    My uncle was stationed in the Pacific and once told me that code talkers saved his life and the lives of his shipmates.

    the recruitment of Navajo as code-talkers was genius move as the enemy had no idea what they were speaking. the code was never broken.
