It is the proof of his patriotic conviction that. as he said on the Senate floor. "our beloved country is great enough to acknowledge and correct its past mistakes." I quote from a letter SPARKY received on the occasion of the redress bills passage: "Your role in the redress movement will be part of the Nisel saga in American history. What a tremendous accomplishment. Thank you. SPARKY. for restoring the pride and dignity of all Niseis. their children. and now other newly immigrant Asians." The author of that letter speaks not only for the Nisel and their children. not only for AsianAmericansbut for all Americans. In particular. it speaks for the veterans of the Second World War. The shame of the internment camps tarnished the ideals and values SPARKY and I served in that conflict to defend. and on behalf of his fellow veterans I thank him for giving justice to those so unjustly persecuted.
