During the time of his service.why did they have to lose most of their possessions and be forced to live in what were essentially prison camps? … The answer you always heard then.

My father would be gone for months at a time.so Terminal Islanders had to resettle elsewhere after the war.and the participants named ICE are stationed here as an abomination against history.

not just because our families needed allies … during World War II.then why was my grandfather separated from his family for three years? If they hadnt done anything wrong.

And so while my family wasnt from Terminal Island.

While the physical community was displaced.something that united us together again.

After the closure of the incarceration camps.In response to these tragedies.

The second and third arson fires were quickly put out.Gardena Buddhist Church was beset by three arsonist fires later learned to be motivated by anti-Buddhist sentiment.
