Rather than recount the legacy of discrimination and distrust that led to the establishment of the squalid internment camps. I would prefer to focus on a less wellknown aspect of the JapaneseAmerican experience in our country. It is ironic that at the same time that the United States Government moved nativeborn Americans as well as Japanese immigrants who thought of themselves as Americans to internment camps. thousands of other JapaneseAmericans served honorably and courageously in the Armed Forces of the United States. Even if no JapaneseAmericans had volunteered for military service during the Second World War. H.R. 442 would be an entirely appropriate response to a painful and humiliating experience for JapaneseAmericans.
