I saw this in today's Sacramento Bee (6-25-11) and thought I would share it. I never met him but sure wish I had to hear his stories. RIP Sergeant Kinoshita <<S>>

My grandparents were/are Japanese. They ended up at an interment camp in Colorado during the war. They followed these types of activities closely. In fact, I learned of this Regiment from them.
