Hiromi Suehiro oral history interview, part 2 of 5, June 9, 1999

Suehiro continues talking about his experiences during the attacks on Pearl Harbor and afterwards, including facing discrimination and seeing the Varsity Victory Volunteers at the University of Hawaii. Hearing about the 100th/442nd forming, Suehiro decided that he too, would volunteer for the Army and would get inducted and shipped off without even having the chance to tell his family. He would be shipped first to San Francisco, and then take a train down to Mississippi, where they would experience more discrimination. He also discusses his father being taken in by the FBI after Pearl Harbor as we was active in the community and had a good education. Next, he talks about his basic training and how he would write to his family throughout his time there.
