Navajo code talker honored by Marines
Marines paid tribute to one of their own, Monday, in honor of Native American Indian Heritage Month.
Dr. Samuel Billison, guest speaker at Monday's observance at the Officers' Club, was one of the first of the Navajo code talkers who took part in every assault conducted by Marines in the Pacific between 1942 and 1945. They served all six Marine divisions, Marine Raider battalions and parachute units. And, although the Japanese were skilled at deciphering codes, they were never able to decode messages based on the Navajo language.
