Description
An account of the resource
During Paul Takao Bannai's school years in Utah, and Colorado there are no Japanese American students. Paul's friends are mainly white. When he moves to Los Angeles, CA, his friends are more diverse, and he meets other Japanese Americans. Paul becomes more interested in his culture and is active in the Japanese American community.
After graduating high school, Paul applies to several banks. Paul says where he goes, he wants to help people. He learns from his parents to be kind and help others. Therefore, Paul talks to California Bank to open a branch in Little Tokyo, downtown Los Angeles. There are many Japanese American-run businesses in Little Tokyo. Moreover, Paul helps coordinate a banking system in Manzanar.
In addition, Paul works with the Japanese American Citizens League (JACL) and writes many letters. Paul feels it is wrong for the United States Military to deny American citizens the right to serve in the United States Army. As a result, the government relinquishes its position and allows Japanese Americans to volunteer in the military. The government realizes the need Japanese speaking people in the military during the Alaskan Campaign. Over 5,000 Japanese Americans served during the Pacific.
When Paul goes into service, his parents put a star in the window. His parents are proud that Paul is serving in the military. Paul is the last one to evacuate to Manzanar and considers defying evacuation orders. Paul discusses three courts involving Japanese Americans and evacuation.
At Camp Shelby, Paul recalls the relationship between the mainland soldiers and the Hawaiian soldiers. Later, Paul goes to Camp Savage for the Military Intelligence Service Language School. Paul is not as fluent in the Japanese language. He studies harder to catch up with his classmates.
After completing training, Paul goes to Michigan to teach the Military Police (MP) elementary Japanese. When he arrives in Michigan, the MPs are needed overseas for the Japanese Prisoners of War (POWs). Paul goes to New Guinea with the MPs.

Description
An account of the resource
Tommy Mayekawa and his family evacuate to Santa Anita Assembly Center after receiving the evacuation orders. He describes the living conditions and life in the camp. Tommy and his family live in a horse stable, and his parents accepted the situation with the attitude of shikata ga nai.
Tommy and his family are at Santa Anita for a few months before going to Rohwer Relocation Center. At Rohwer, there are armed guards in guard towers. Tommy tries to try to occupy his time in camp with work. He finds a job driving a truck and chopping wood.
In March 1944, Tommy leaves Rohwer for employment opportunities in Detroit, MI. Shortly after, Tommy receives his draft notice and reports to Fort Sheridan. Tommy discusses the irony of being an American citizen going to camp and now being drafted into service.
At Camp Blanding, Tommy is part of a segregated unit. Many guys from his Company go overseas to Europe, but Tommy goes to language school at Fort Snelling. Tommy's training is short because the war has ended, and they are needed overseas.
In August 1945, he travels to the Philippine Islands and works at a POW camp. Later, Tommy goes to Japan for occupation. He is stationed in downtown Yokohama and is attached to the Third Military Railway Service Headquarters. His assignment is to be an interpreter with the local rail operators.

Description
An account of the resource
After joining the Army, Hirano is sent to Camp Savage in Minnesota to join the Military Intelligence Service Language School. From there he was assigned to work in New York, translating words for a dictionary that the Army was putting together. It was there that he also had a piece of the Manhattan Project, writing up the treaty. Also during this time, he was received a controversial piece of propaganda that nearly got him in trouble. Fortunately, he was not found guilty and went on to be an instructor at Camp Savage before getting shipped out to Manila. In Manila, he worked as a translator right next door to General MacArthur until he received new orders to head to Japan.

Description
An account of the resource
At Camp Savage, Yoshio Izumi is assigned to Headquarter Company and does clerical work. He is tasked with morning reports and supplies inventory. Yoshio recalls being inducted at the same time as John Aiso and seeing him at basic training at Fort Ord.
When the war starts, Camp Savage opens, Yoshio sees John again at the Military Intelligence Service Language School. The Military Intelligence Service is a top-secret unit. Yoshio credits them for their hard work and contributions.
The cold weather is the most memorable thing at Camp Savage for Yoshio. He wears long johns and heavy coats to get used to the cold. When Yoshio has free time, he goes to town to eat at a Chinese restaurant, USO, or watch movies.
In June 1944, Yoshio and his wife marry in Minneapolis. They have a dozen friends there. However, their family does not attend because they are in Manzanar. When Yoshio hears the war has ended, he hopes to go home soon. However, his wife is pregnant and cannot travel.
Yoshio's daughter was born in January 1945. They stay in Minneapolis, and he does odd jobs until they can travel to West Los Angeles. When Yoshio comes home, his home is full of people from Manzanar. After Manzanar, some people have nowhere to go. Yoshio discusses the internment camps, and he does not feel it is necessary.
After being placed in camp, Yoshio feels like the Japanese American community has to rebuild what they had. The Japanese American community bonded together and persevered.

Description
An account of the resource
Kazuo Yamaguchi describes how his grandfather was taken by the FBI and interned at Ellis Island. The local newspaper soon started to defame his family, but through the support of his friends and local neighborhood, they put a stop to the harassment. Kazuo was drafted into the United States Army -- after being changed from 1A to 4C and back to 1A classification -- and was sent to Camp Blanding for infantry basic training. Because he hated being an infantryman so much, he volunteered for the Military Intelligence Service (MIS), where he underwent language training at Fort Snelling. During V-E Day, he and his MISLS class were shipped overseas to the Pacific War.
