In Defense of Liberty: Japanese American Soldiers in World War II
Speech by Eric Saul
Why did you become soldiers, and ironically become, of all things, the most decorated army unit that this country has ever produced? There were words like giri and on, which your parents taught you. Which means "duty," and "honor," and "responsibility." Oyakoko: love for family. Your parents could not become citizens, but you loved your families
When you joined the Army, you used your bodies as hostages for your families to prove your love for democracy and justice when you volunteered from those degrading prison camps
The Japanese Tea Garden in San Francisco, California, is a popular feature of Golden Gate Park, originally built as part of the California Midwinter International Exposition of 1894.
