Alfred K was A-OK

Navajo Code Talkers  (Saipan, June 1944)

Alfred K. Newman had even more to smile about than Alfred E. Neuman.  After all, he was instrumental in helping the Allies to win World War II.

One of the 400 Navajo Code Talkers, Newman had partnered in developing an unbreakable encryption system.  He was a Marine who “served in the Pacific Islands” during that crucial time.

Major Howard Connor, a signal officer at Iwo Jima, explained that the Marines would never have won that battle were it not for the Navajos.
