The city government. the schools. the banks. and the shops and stores all closed up and the entire citizenry gathered together to honor these two Japanese Americans who had volunteered for combat even though they were eligible for deferment because of their valuable work. The two brothers did not come back. but the community is the richer because of their sacrifices. As a matter of fact. perhaps the greatest single reason that the voters of my State last November went to the polls and overwhelmingly repealed a constitutional prohibition against naturalized Mongolians "not born in this country." and especially the Japanese parents of our World War II servicemen. voting. serving on juries. or holding public offices. Is the outstanding record compiled by the sons of these then ineligible Japanese on overseas battlefields. Incidentally.
