Navajo Code Talker Chester Nez, 90, poses at his home on Albuquerque’s West Mesa in this May 17 photo. He is the last living member of the U.S. Marine Corps 382nd Platoon, comprised of 29 Navajos who developed a secret code the Japanese were never able to decipher.

Thank you Code Talker Nez for your many contributions and service to your country. God bless you and we hope you live to be 100 years old.

I was in the Marines during Vietnam with a Navajo named Slowtalker. Good man. He was a grunt, like me.
