Reflections and Observations

Shiroku

"We were brought up properly. Not to bring shame or disgrace to our family or to our neighbors or even for the community.

We had no choice . . . shall I put it that way? On our upbringing, that when you start something, accomplish it, no matter how difficult it is.

The 100th and the 442nd never stepped back, always go forward and accomplish the mission, regardless of how hard it was."
