CAMP PENDLETON, Calif - Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton hosts a commemoration ceremony for the Navajo Code Talkers at 1st Marine Division Headquarters, Sept. 28. Navajo Code Talkers Roy Hawthorne and Samuel T. Holiday were present to talk about their experiences. Maj. Gen. Daniel D. O'Donohue, Commanding General, 1st Marine Division, gave his remarks and was presented with a Navajo blanket. During World War II, the U.S. Marine Corps, in an effort to find quicker and more secure ways to send and receive code enlisted Navajos as "code talkers." The first 29 Navajo recruits attended boot camp in May 1942. This first group created the Navajo code at Camp Pendleton, Oceanside, Calif. (Photo by Cpl. Asia J. Sorenson/Released)
