CODE TALKER POSTER PROJECT
NavajoYES has created a series of posters of Navajo Code Talkers, including a new portrait this year: Thomas Begay. All posters in the series will be available at the event. Our mission is to honor the legacy of these heroes by making Code Talker posters available to every school, chapter house, and home around the Nation.
