These pages are part of the broader story of the Asian American and Pacific Islander participation in our military.The Japanese American Citizens League issued the following statement last week: JACL is deeply alarmed and disappointed by the removal of webpages honoring the history and accomplishments of the 100th Infantry Battalion.
