Interesting article about the Japanese men who volunteered to fight, even though the government had placed them in camps.

If you are ever out in my area, a visit to Mazanar is well worth the time.

The Park Service has done a wonderful job on the exhibits.

Visiting those camps really makes one step back and think.
