At 100 years old, Thomas H. Begay is one of the last surviving Navajo Code Talkers, a group of Native American Marines whose unbreakable code was vital to U.S. victory in the Pacific during World War II. In this exclusive Edutainment Learning interview, Mr. Begay shares his remarkable story of transmitting hundreds of coded messages during the Battle of Iwo Jima—messages that were never broken by the enemy. His courage and service played a key role in one of the most decisive battles in history. Join us as Mr. Begay reflects on his service, his Navajo heritage, and his message for future generations. This is more than history—it’s living testimony from a true American hero.
