- Joe Kieyoomia (1925 - 1997) was a Navajo soldier in New Mexico's 200th Coast Artillery unit and was captured by the Imperial Japanese Army after the fall of the Philippines in 1942. His story is unique in that the U.S. Marine Corps trained Navajo men to learn a top secret communications code in their own Navajo language. As an enlisted member of the U.S. Army, however, he was not exposed to this communications code since it was explicitly USMC training, saving it from being deciphered by Japanese Military intelligence.
