To my grandfather, veteran of the 442nd Infantry Regiment during WW2 I say this: I am sorry that this country failed you in life and has now failed you in death as well.

I stood at a memorial rock at Minidoka internment camp in Idaho in the fall of 2023. I read the names of the Japanese soldiers who fought for the US while their own families were imprisoned. And it broke me. This country fails them by trying to erase their sacrifice.
This is wrong Grant. I’m searching for my grandfathers records right now after finding out he was a private in the military during WW2. He never spoke of his service to my mom and had drinking and other issues that now make us wonder if he suffered PTSD. History matters. I will ✍️ them for you.
I’m so sorry. My neighbor was the first baby born in a U.S. concentration camp in WW 2 and we talked this week and she just broke down in front of me and told me she’s glad she’s nearing the end. That broke me. They’ve taken her will to live.
Guy put a water heater in yesterday was about 23, african American bodybuilder w dreds. Xtian Homeschooled here.Admitted trump failed entirely in first term but loves what he’s doing. Discussed xtian principals re food, insurance, aid, &he thinks it’s all abused &should go. Empathy is gone
The 442 was one of the most decorated regiments in history, mostly made up of 2nd generation (Nisei) Japanese Americans. Grandpa volunteered for service after his family was forcibly relocated to an internment camp in Poston AZ.
I'm so sorry, Grant. I hope the records and recognition will be restored soon. I'm grateful for your grandfather's sacrifices and appalled by these injustices and believe there are more people who feel this way than back the current administration. I know that doesn't fix it. Just sending ❤️ to you
this is absolutely disgusting and dishonorable to see this. I am truly appalled that America has let herself fall victim to traitors, draft dodgers, genocidal anti-vax mass murderers, and South African apartheid incels. your grandfather and so many who fought for this country deserve much better.
Thank you my brother. I’ve tried to keep my account as lighthearted and jokey as possible (although I reskeet a lot of political posts that match my ideology), but the constant cruelty from this admin is relentless.
Arlington Cemetery has also done the amazingly shitty job of removing Black , Hispanic, and female veterans from their website and those responsible can all eat shit forever and may they never know peace for the rest of their lives

This injustice must be corrected.
