The name code talkers is strongly associated with bilingual Navajo speakers specially recruited during World War II by the US Marine Corps to serve in their standard communications units of the Pacific theater on secret missions. Today we celebrate and appreciate the service and sacrifice of these great men. Around 40 to 70 Code Talkers are estimated to still be living. No one knows the number for certain because the nature of their military service was classified for 23 years following their service, according to Avila. Nez is the only member of the original 29 Navajo Code Talkers alive today.
