Transcript, Audio, Video of Address

"In the early part of World War II, the enemy was breaking every military code that was being used in the Pacific. This created a huge problem for strategizing against the enemy. Eventually, a suggestion was made in early 1942 to use Navajo language as a code."

"After creating 260 code words, the 29 young Marines -- half of them were sent overseas to join the 1st Marine Division...Three weeks after the landing, General Van De Griff, Commander of the 1st Marine Division, sent word back to the United States saying, 'This Navajo code is terrific.  The enemy never understood it,' he said. 'We don’t understand it either, but it works.  Send us some more Navajos.'"

"When our way of life is threatened, like the freedom and liberty we all cherish, we come together as one.  And when we come together as one, we are invincible. We cannot be defeated."
