Yesterday, November 29, 2021, I wrote the following article:
Remember The History Of The Disgusting, Anti-American, Disgraceful Treatment Of Japanese-Americans Rounded-Up And Forced Into Internment Camps?
What I failed to do was to include the true story -- the history -- of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team made up of loyal and patriotic Japanese-Americans who fought in the European theater during the Second World War...
Many of these same soldiers still had entire families in internment camps behind barbed wire fences, but at the same time, wanted to fight for their country and revenge the "attack" on Pearl Harbor (Hawaii) on that "day that will live in infamy," December 7, 1941.
As an aside, I wonder how many will remember, or at least recognize from the history books, that nearly 3,000 American military -- and civilians -- were killed by the Japanese air force on that terrible day? Will it just be another day, as, it seems, was this past November 22, the anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy? There were few if any articles or stories that I could find in the mainstream media, or even on the alternative media platforms... I don't know, maybe it's just my frustration at the short memories of the American populace, or, is it possible that folks want to avoid the history that demoralizes or depresses them? If we aren't aware of our own history, isn't it possible that history will repeat itself?? Because of that, I wrote this article: November 22, 1963... Does Anyone Care Anymore?
Getting back to the 442nd...
Here is an article from the nationalww2museum.org...
It chronicles the heroics and sacrifice of these true warriors... Going For Broke: The 442nd Regimental Combat Team | The National WWII Museum | New Orleans (nationalww2museum.org)
As Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., wrote: we should not judge a person by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character... How true... Let us not forget those Japanese-Americans who fought to defeat the demonic Nazi, Hitler...
Pray for strength and honor!
Viva Cristo Rey! Bl. Fr. Miguel Pro, Fr. Emil Kapaun and Fr. Vincent Capodanno, pray for us...
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle...
