William Tully Brown, one of the last remaining members of the Navajo Code Talker program during World War II, died on Monday at age 96, according to the Navajo Nation
Brown was one of about 400 Navajos who used their language to develop a code to transmit top-secret and confidential messages throughout World War II, says Peter MacDonald, president of the Navajo Code Talkers Association. "From 1942 until 1945, Navajo code was used by the US Marines and Navy, and they tell us that we saved hundreds of thousands of lives and helped win the war in the Pacific to preserve our freedom and liberty," MacDonald said.
How the code came to beThe incredible story of the Navajo Code Talkers that got lost in all the politicsThe Navajo code was indecipherable and crucial to American war efforts. The system was much faster than the existing encryption machines at the time, according to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. It was made of 211 vocabulary terms, but expanded to 411 over the course of the war. The Navajo Code Talkers participated in every major Marine operation in the Pacific theater.
