"Sgt. Maj. Lisa Cowboy speaking in a commemorative ceremony" (Ponder)

On November 9, 2017, at the commemorative ceremony, Sgt. Maj. Lisa Cowboy said,“The code talkers saw action on several South Pacific islands including Guadalcanal, Bougainville, Saipan, Guam, Palau, and Okinawa. One of the most important and bloodiest battles of the South Pacific, Iwo Jima, was one of the code talker’s finest examples of proficiency” (Ponder).

The protection of military communication played a major role in the United States' strategy and mattered significantly due to the fact it remained unbroken thus demonstrating its worth. Despite the lingering prejudice and distrust, the Navajo soldiers helped the people of the United States, helped change the outcome of major battles, and showed the worth of their language to the nation.
