"A new monument honoring the Navajo code talkers will be unveiled Thursday at the Santa Fe National Cemetery.The New Mexico state organization \"Daughters of the American Revolution\" and state regent Zadeea Harris took on the project, raising funds to install a granite memorial to honor the original 29 code talkers. It will be the first of its kind in New Mexico.Debra Wersonick, a historian for DAR, told Action 7 News that out of 420 code talkers, less than 40 of them are still living. She said the organization felt a sense of urgency to get this monument going because a lot of the code talkers who are alive are in their 80s and 90s.\"They're dying at a rapid rate,\" she said.The Navajo Code Talkers are credited for saving thousands of lives and helping end World War II.\"Without the code talkers, it's very likely we would have lost World War II,\" said Wersonick.Their code talking was the basis for an unbreakable code that helped allies communicate.The ceremony will start at 1 p.m."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
