The Navajo Code Talkers were an acclaimed group of Marines who used their native language to create an unbreakable code that confounded Japanese forces during World War II.

Pfc. Bill Toledo served with the 3rd Marine Division in the Pacific, including Bougainville, Guam, and Iwo Jima. Born in Torreon, New Mexico, he joined the Marines in October 1942 with his uncle Frank and cousin Preston. All three became Code Talkers.

Pfc. Bill Toledo died on May 5, 2016, at the age of 92, and is interred at Santa Fe National Cemetery.
