The Japanese were breaking every code. American Marines were dying by the thousands. Something had to be done.
Then in 1942, 29 young Navajo men from Arizona, including Carl Gorman, stepped forward and volunteered to fight the Japanese. Their contributions ended up saving the lives of thousands of Marines and shortening the war by at least a year.
They were known as the famous Navajo Code Talkers and I became friends with one of the most decorated of the platoon.
This is the story of how I met Carl Gorman, and what I learned from this humble warrior, deep inside the Navajo Reservation back in 1974…

“Without the heroic contribution of the Navajo Code Talkers the U.S. Marines would not have taken Iwo Jima (critical battle against the Japanese in World War II)” (said Major Howard Connor, 5th Marine Division’s Intelligence Officer).
