Alfred K. Newman was a United States Marine, best known for serving as a Navajo code talker during World War II. Born in Rehoboth, New Mexico, on the Navajo Nation, Newman and his fellow native students were not allowed to speak the Navajo language in school. With the attack on Pearl Harbor in mind, he joined the Marine Corps on March 26, 1943, and became one of over 400 code talkers. In November 1943, Newman was part of the Guadalcanal Campaign, before he spent a month on Bougainville Island. H
