What changed in the latest version
9 added · 5 removedPlain-language change summary
The bill has been amended to establish August 14 as "National Navajo Code Talkers Day," instead of the previous title "National Diné, Hopi and Indigenous Code Talkers Day." This change focuses on the Navajo Code Talkers specifically, highlighting their significant contribution during World War II. It matters because it recognizes and honors the unique role that Navajo Code Talkers played in American history, while simplifying the designation of the holiday.
