Pledging support in any way:
Signed by the chairman and vice-chairman JC Morgan and Howard w Forman on January 12, 1942, the Navajo Tribal Council passed this resolution supporting the war effort and pledging the tribe's loyalty to the United States. During World War II, more than 500 Navajos served in the US Marines, most of them as code talkers. The code talkers transmitted messages -- not one was ever decoded by the Japanese -- in their extremely complex native language. |
