Navajo Code Talkers Association
In celebration of both the NFL’s ‘Salute to Service’ month and Native American Heritage month, the Washington Redskins recognized four members of the Navajo Code Talkers Association on Monday.
The code talkers were a group of Native American service members who transmitted secret communications beginning in World War II.
Navajo Code Talkers Association President Peter MacDonald Sr., Vice President Roy Hawthorne and members George James Sr. and George Boyd Willie Sr., were all recognized during a commercial break during the first quarter of the Redskins Monday Night Football game against the San Francisco 49ers.
