Navajo Code Talker

Here we are at Window Rock, center of the Navajo Nation, which houses a memorial to the World War II Navajo Marines, who used their unique native Dine language to confuse their opponents.

A beautiful and unique place. Here is some more information about the Navajo Nation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navajo_Nation

On the road, back to STL. Thanks for stopping by.

That was a neat trick, no need to develop a whole new code language! Beautiful landscape.

I had read about about these "coders" and it's fascinating. This is a really nice dedication, the Nation deserves it and so much more...

Great shot

Would love to see this. Do you have a “sights to see on road trips” atlas?

[Kitty Hawke]

Very interesting....and such a lovely sky too.

mI really like the hole in the rock behind. Makes me think it symbolizes that the Cold Talkers were "getting through."

Nice monument!

[Jane Pittenger]

Nicely composed

A spectacular setting for the memorial. Beautiful!

Loving the trip photos! I worked for a company in the 80s that made perhaps one of the first documentaries about the Navajo Code talkers. Such a stunning backdrop for the memorial!
