Description
Hinatsu discusses being on the farm when first hearing about the attacks on Pearl Harbor. Shortly after, his family would be evacuated and sent to Portland assembly center followed by Minidoka concentration camp in Idaho. While visiting on a furlough, Hinatsu notes the poor living conditions and bareness of the concentration camp. Next, he talks about being drafted into the Army and going into Fort Lewis for his induction. From there, he would go to Camp Robinson where he would work as a yard boy, while being a detached unit, taking trips to Denver in the meantime. Once the 442nd was formed, he would head to Camp Shelby in Mississippi as part of the cadre, ranking as a staff sergeant.
