Push Relocation For Those Who Stay In Canada
Nisei Marine Serves On Iwo
A Nisei American has been reported as fighting with the U. S.
Marines in the bitter battle to take the strategic Iwo Jima Island.
The Herald-American, a Chicago newspaper, reported March 2
that Sgt. James Yoshinobu, Nisei American soldier, father of five
children, was fighting on Iwo Jima with the U. S. Marines.
The report stated that Sgt. Yoshinobu was 47 years old and a
veteran of World War I. He volunteered for service in August, 194.1
from a war relocation centre in Arkansas after being evacuated from
their former homes in Gardena Valley, Calif.
“We’re mighty proud of him being with the Marines on Iwo
Jima.” the Herald-American quoted -Airs. Yoshinobu. She said that
she and her children, ranging from 14 to 2 years old, follow the
battle for Iwo Jima with intense interest.
In a report released by the War Department, it was officially
revealed, that Nisei are not only fighting against the enemy in the
South Pacific theatre as well as in Europe but are receiving citations
for exceptional acts of bravery, reports the Pacific Citizen.
ihe War Department did not state the exact number of Japa
nese Americans whei are in the South Pacific because of the danger
ous nature of their assignments,, according to R. B. Cozzens, Assistant
Director of the War Relocation Authority said the Pacific Citizen.
