Many young Japanese men from Hawaii served in the United States military overseas -- often sent into extremely dangerous situations resulting in high casualties. I'm no expert on this subject but I understand there were more Japanese in Hawaii than on the entire mainland combined.Father Timhttp://www.frtim.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4381472662149763328.post-30736842546829364532014-03-09T14:46:05.000-04:002014-03-09T14:46:05.000-04:00I remember the fate of the Japanese in California....I remember the fate of the Japanese in California.

I remember our Asian American Studies professor telling us that it was deemed harmful to the local economy if they interned Japanese Hawaiians. They were, as now, vital to the Hawaiian economy. It would be akin to the population/brain drain after the Moors and Jews left Spain: Nobody to work farms and orchards, and professionals, skilled workers, and artisans leaving in droves. It took a long time for several areas in Spain to recover after that. The only difference is that after the War, Japanese Americans on the Mainland returned from the camps, and they did as much as they could to resume their lives. Many of them lost their property and livelihoods, and try as they might, many of them could not get back on their feet without help.Joshua Liganhttp://gravatar.com/nibblingcrumbsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4381472662149763328.post-86738846281752792682014-03-10T10:20:54.000-04:002014-03-10T10:20:54.000-04:00You're welcome, Father Tim.
