 * Utah Navajos in the World Wars**

Many Utah Navajos served in the First World War. During World War II, Navajos also played a very important role in winning the war in the Pacific by developing a code based on the Navajo language that proved impossible for the Japanese to crack. Three thousand other Navajos also served in the army, navy, Marine Corps, and Women's Marine Corps.
