Peter MacDonald, one of the last two surviving Navajo Code Talkers, spoke to over 250 Marines at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center at the Presidio of Monterey, March 13. Hosted by the Marine Corps Detachment, the event brought together Marines studying foreign languages to hear MacDonald reflect on his service during World War II and the role Navajo Code Talkers had in creating an unbreakable code that helped Allied forces communicate quickly and securely in combat. MacDonald emphasized the enduring power of language in military operations and encouraged them to recognize the impact their own language training may one day have in support of missions around the world.
