Morgan Hill Buddhist Community Center, 16450 Murphy Avenue, Morgan Hill, CA

We are excited about this year’s program, which will include two outstanding speakers, and hope you will join us. Mike Malaghan will talk about his highly-acclaimed book, “Picture Bride,” a history-based novel of a girl who escapes hardship in Japan, comes to Hawaii as a picture bride, and endures unfamiliar and difficult life as an immigrant. The second presentation by Chet Campenella will be on internment of persons of Italian ancestry during WW II. He will describe the life endured by his parents as they were interned resulting from the same Executive Order 9066. A potluck lunch will be served. Annual family membership is $25. If you desire more information, please contact Brian Shiroyama at [email protected] or (408) 896-1021.

Feb. 13 Meeting Update omcadmin

Feb. 13 Meeting Update

 

Once again, they came from everywhere – San Francisco, Sacramento, Turlock, Monterey. It was another gathering of Friends and Family of Nisei Veterans (FFNV) in Morgan Hill, on Feb. 13. About 100 attended the “membership meeting” filled with warmth and camaraderie. Even several “strangers” came from Visalia and Fresno after hearing the radio announcement about this meeting. The annual potluck lunch gathering was enjoyed by all.

The program began with a presentation by Consul General Jun Yamada of Consulate-General of Japan, San Francisco, of a prestigious Certificate of Commendation by Minister of Foreign Affairs of Japan to Lawson Sakai. The Certificate recognized Sakai’s dedication to promoting mutual understanding and friendship between Japan and the United States. Specifically, the award recognized Sakai’s service with the famed 442nd Regimental Combat Team (442nd RCT), his tireless effort to preserve the proud legacy of Nisei veterans, and his dedication as eloquent speaker to promote understanding of Japanese American history. Introductory remarks stated: “With unselfish, dedicated and far-reaching accomplishments, Sakai has become a true and proud legend among all Japanese Americans and legitimately among all Americans.”

The second part of the program took the audience back 72 years into Vosges Mountains in France where enduring and amazing history was unfolding. Four speakers shared their knowledge of the epic battle in late October 1944 when the 442nd RCT successfully rescued the encircled Texas “Lost Battalion.” Tom Graves, professional photographer/author moderated the program and gave an overview of the battle. Franz Steidl, historian, showed a Department of Defense newsreel coverage of this rescue and introduced the regional military situation that resulted in an American battalion being trapped by retreating German forces. Al Tortolano, a soldier of the “Lost Battalion,” was not able to attend the meeting due to illness. However, Tom Graves summarized Al Tortolano’s emotional speech he gave to another group of 442nd RCT veterans in 1999 in which he repeatedly thanked the 442nd RCT for its valiant effort despite taking heavy casualties. In conclusion, Lawson Sakai presented an inspiring account of his personal role during the rescue and that of his fellow 442nd RCT soldiers. Attendees were treated to truly informative and heart-warming stories of the rescue of the “Lost Battalion.”

Consul General Yamada thoughtfully stayed for the entire program and expressed his appreciation for our Nisei soldiers’ contributions of the 442nd RCT in Europe and of the Military Intelligence Service in the Pacific. The presentation of the Foreign Ministry Award to Lawson Sakai added the extra dimension of significance and importance to this gathering.

Friends and Family of Nisei Veterans (FFNV), a Japanese-American WW II veterans organization, will host a meeting on February 13, 2016, at the rear building of the Morgan Hill Buddhist Community Center, 16450 Murphy Avenue, at 12:30 PM. Potluck lunch will be served at 11:30 AM. The public is invited.

The highlight of this meeting is to feature four speakers on the subject of a legendary segregated Japanese-American unit (442nd Regimental Combat Team – 442nd RCT) rescuing the “Lost Battalion.” The 442nd RCT, formed in 1943, was initially engaged in Italy and quickly became a formidable and well-respected fighting unit. “Go For Broke” was its motto. For its size and the length of service, the 442nd RCT became the highest decorated unit in U.S. Army history with 21 Medal of Honor awards.

On October 24, 1944, the 1st Battalion of the 141st Infantry Regiment, 36th Division (originally the Texas National Guard), became surrounded and trapped by German forces in the Vosges Mountains, France. The 1st Battalion was deemed “lost” because repeated attempts by 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the 141st Infantry Regiment failed to rescue the 1st. The Division Commander then ordered the 442nd RCT to rescue the “Lost Battalion.” Even though the 442nd RCT just came off bitter battles to liberate nearby towns and thus was severely short of manpower, they smartly saluted and valiantly pressed on. It was another opportunity to prove their loyalty to America after being classified as “enemy alien” after Pearl Harbor. On October 30, after taking extremely heavy casualties, the 442nd RCT broke through and rescued the “Lost Battalion.”

Tom Graves (professional photographer/author of “Twice Heroes”) will introduce other speakers. He will give the overview of the 442nd RCT. He will present the importance of the battle to rescue the “Lost Battalion.” He will also comment on why this rescue lives on in history.

Franz Steidl (author of “Lost Battalions”) will give an introduction to the regional military situation, military motives behind the battle and its results. He will also make an audiovisual presentation.

Al Tortolano (soldier of the 1st Battalion, 141 Infantry – the “Lost Battalion”) will talk about his side of the battle, what his fellow soldiers faced and knew and what they went through before the rescue by the 442 RCT.

Lawson Sakai (a 442nd RCT vet) will talk about the Regiment itself – its origin and training. He will then focus on his role during the battle to rescue the “Lost Battalion.”
