KICKER: DEATH OF A NAVAJO CODE TALKER
JIM/ANCHOR: Finally, we mark the death of one of the last surviving
Navajo Code Talkers. Samuel Tom Holiday died in the Southern Utah
Veterans Home on June 11, at age 94. He was one of hundreds of Navajos
to utilize an unbreakable code during World War II - a code based on
the Navajo language, which the Japanese were never able to crack.
According to various news reports, there are fewer than 10 Code Talkers
remaining from that era.
Samuel Tom Holiday, a native of Utah, served with the United States
Marine Corps. Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey called him a "true American patriot
and hero" for his service to the allied forces. He had been the recipient
of a Congressional Silver Medal and the Purple Heart.
He was to be buried on the Navajo Reservation, in Kayenta, Arizona beside
his wife. His honor lives on in the library and media center of the
Kayenta Middle School which was dedicated in his name last November.
Thank you for your service, Samuel Tom Holiday.
