Lt. Gen. David G. Bellon, Commander of Marine Forces Reserve and Marine Forces South, poses for a photo with six Navajo Nation Marines at Window Rock, Ariz., , Aug. 14, 2022. The Marines met to discuss their participation in a ceremony for the National Navajo Code Talkers Day, which has been observed every Aug. 14 since 1982. The Marines had never met each other before, but quickly found common ground through their shared military service and Navajo heritage.
