During WWII, Japanese American Soldiers fought against Axis powers abroad and racial prejudice at home.

Today, Japan and the US have progressed beyond reconciliation to become the closest of allies.

Join us to honor the service and sacrifices of Nisei Veterans. The story of Sadao Munemori, World War II Medal of Honor recipient, will be featured.
