National Navajo Code Talkers Day/ National Navaho Code Talkers Day
-- The diné bizaad – or Navajo language — helped the Allied forces in World War II to gain a victory over Japan.

Because August 14th is the anniversary of Japan's unconditional surrender and the end of World War II, this date was officially designated Navajo Code Talkers' Day in Arizona.
