Today, the Marine Corps League honors the brave Navajo Code Talkers whose courage, service, and sacrifice helped change the course of World War II.

Serving primarily with the U.S. Marine Corps, these Native American Marines developed and used a specialized code based on the Navajo language. Their communications proved critical across the Pacific, including during some of the fiercest battles of the war. The code was never broken by the enemy.

But their legacy is about more than an unbreakable code. It is about patriotism, duty, courage, and sacrifice. Many of these Marines served a nation that had not always treated their people with the respect they deserved, yet they answered the call when their country needed them most.

Today, we remember and honor the Navajo Code Talkers and all Native American veterans who have served our nation.

Semper Fidelis. 🇺🇸

73 years ago, the guns fell silent on the Korean Peninsula.

On July 27, 1953, the Korean Armistice Agreement was signed, bringing an end to over three years of relentless fighting that began when North Korean forces invaded across the 38th parallel on June 25, 1950.

Among the tens of thousands of Americans who made the ultimate sacrifice, 47 Marines and Navy Corpsmen were awarded the Medal of Honor for extraordinary heroism under fire.

Today, their sacrifice endures in the strength of South Korea's vibrant democracy and the unbreakable U.S.-ROK alliance. As President Dwight D. Eisenhower reflected, the armistice brought "free peoples one step nearer to their goal of a world at peace."

We remember their valor. We honor their sacrifice.
