History
Today, we recognize the Nisei, or second-generation Japanese American, veterans as an indelible part of America’s history.
Their battle on the war front to demonstrate their national allegiance was also a battle on the home front to secure justice and equality for themselves and their families. By proving themselves at both fronts, they worked to ensure a future free from racial intolerance for all generations to come.
History
The history of the Nisei soldiers is integral to the history of all Americans, regardless of ethnicity. The sacrifices these young men made during wartime – even as their fellow soldiers and their nation doubted them – are measured by the freedoms they earned for all of us today.
