“Chester Nez will receive his University of Kansas degree on Monday. He was one of the original 29 Code Talkers in an all-Navajo Marine platoon who created a secret code based on their language used by troops in World War II. Nez had to leave the university in 1952 after three years because his GI Bill funds ran out. No one at the time knew he was a Code Talker.” Read more here.
Mr. Nez is the author of the book, Code Talker: The First and Only Memoir By One of the Original Navajo Code Talkers of WWII.
