CITY OF SAFETY HARBOR: Did you know that the Navajo people were crucial during the WWII effort?

World

City Of Safety Harbor issued the following announcement on Dec. 01. 

Did you know that the Navajo people were crucial during the WWII effort? During World War II, the United States government enlisted the help of skilled Native Americans, known as code talkers, who used the Navajo language to transmit top-secret information to allied forces.

Much of this information was classified until 2002 when congress passed the Code Talkers Recognition Act. Overall, some tribes had as much as 70% participation in the war effort.
