Bartlit: "Silent Voices of World War II: The Navajo         Code Talkers' Indispensable Secret Role in the Pacific Theater”         Description: From 1942 until the end of World War II the Navajo code was never broken by         the enemy. Between 350–420 young Navajo U.S. Marines, trained in a unique language, fought         from Guadalcanal through Okinawa, a territory of Japan. Their military commander claimed         that they shortened the war by a year.         She'll describe how the code was initiated by the original 29 Navajo U.S. Marine radiomen         who had deep knowledge of Navajo culture and environment, how the number of code talkers         expanded to serve in six Marine divisions forcing increased vocabulary as new technology         was introduced on the battlefield, and how the "code-within-a-code" protected its secrecy.         With precise accuracy the code was put to use in the Pacific theater allowing the allied forces         to island hop and get closer to target Japan.         Bartlit will wrap up this story by revealing exactly what happened to the code talkers         following the war.     Wednesday:         5:00–7:00 p.m.     Location:         Aztec Senior Community Center         101 S.
