| Summary |
The documentary provides viewers with highly personal insights from a group of Native American war heroes regarding their service on behalf of the United States and the Navajo Nation. The secret code these marines developed, based on the unwritten Navaho language, was never broken, giving American troops an upper hand in many battles that ultimately led to Japan2s surrender in 1945. |
