I don''t know if I can move but I do know that I can think. I wish I could help my fellow soldiers. I'm scared. It all happened so fast and so loud and distructive. I hope they find me. -
Japanese American Internment
Chronology of Japanese American Internment
U.S. was attacked by the Japanese which resulted in stricter travel, gun control, banks, buisnesnesses for suspected enemy "aliens". I cannot believe I have to go through all this. Yes, I am Japanese but that doesn't mean I want to attack everyone. I just want to get on this plane and visit my family in California. This is so stressful and unneccesary for all of us. -

Roosevelt’s Executive Order 9066 gave the military broad powers to ban any citizen from a fifty- to sixty-mile-wide coastal area stretching from Washington state to California and extending inland into southern Arizona. These drastic measures need to be taken! I as the president of the U.S. need to reassure all Americans they will be safe after this attack. I will go to any measure to make sure this happens. -

An agency set up as part of the Western Defense Command to implement the mass forced removal of Japanese Americans from the West Coast. Why am I here? Everyone looks so sad, especially my mom. I think she misses my dad but I'm sure he'll back soon. Guards took him away. We've been sitting in this cold dark room for awhile now. I just want to go back home. -

Japanese can test their loyalty to the U.S.
WRA decided to test the loyalty of the imprisoned Japanese and offered them the ability to enlist in a segregated army for the U.S. This is my one shot to freedom hopefully!

Japanese internment camps are closedThe WRA announced that all internment camps would be closed before the end of 1945 and the entire WRA program would be liquidated on June 30, 1946. Thank you Lord! Only one more year and I'm free! Me only being 11 and having to live in this horrible lifestyle has resulted in a terrible childhood. Hopefully when I get out I can start all over. -
