Because the code was classified until 1968 the code talkers did not get early recognition, although they were featured in the 1959 movie, "Never so Few" and the 1949, "Sands of Iwo Jima".

In 1982 (fourteen years after being declassified) they were given a Certificate of Recognition and August 14, 1982 "Navajo Code Talkers Day".

In December 21, 2000, Bill Clinton signed, Public Law 106-554, 114 Statute 2763. It gave the Congressional Gold medal to the original 29 World War II Navajo code talkers, and Silver medals to each person who qualified as a Navajo code talker (approximately 300 were still alive). The Presentation ceremony was in July 2001.
