“I’m so happy I got to serve my country as a code talker.” Chester Nez said on November 11, 2013 at Wausau East High School. Chester Nez is 93 year old man that could be considered a great hero for America. Nez was one of only the 29 men that helped create the code for Americans during WWII and fought on the islands of Guadalcanal, Bougainvillea, Guam, Peleliu, and Angaur. He fought on the islands anywhere from six months to two weeks. Only a couple of men spoke and created this language. They created a code that was the only code that wasn't broken in World War ll. These code talkers served four years in the Pacific talking to each other in this language that no one could crack. The Americans were having trouble coming up with a code that the Japanese couldn’t break, so just a couple Navajo men became the people that changed things in the war. The reason the Americans thought that the Navajo language would be perfect is because it was never written down and you needed to know the Navajo language very well to be able to talk and understand it. Which is why it is the only unbroken code in World War ll. Nez had a tough life growing up on the Navajo reservation in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Ever since he was five, he herded sheep with his family. He learned to get along very good with people because the Navajos came across many struggles when it came to getting supplies for their families and also their animals.  During the presentation he said that he missed herding sheep the most when he was away at war. A connection between Louie Zamperini and Chester Nez is they both knew how to forgive people from the past. Louie forgave the Japanese prisoner guards from the POW camps and Chester Nez forgave the American government after they were very cruel to Nez because of the color of his skin and because the government killed 1/2 of his family's sheep. The few Navajos that created the language used in the was had a huge impact about being able to communicate without the Japanese knowing. They were the ones that changed it all for the Americas.
