The Americans of Japanese Ancestry WWII Memorial Alliance, Japanese American Korean War Veterans, Japanese American Vietnam Veterans Memorial Committee and Veterans Memorial Court Alliance announced that on Saturday, May 25, at 11 a.m., the annual Memorial Day service to honor all Japanese Americans who gave their lives in our nation’s wars will be held adjacent to the Japanese American National War Memorial Court (Memorial Court) at the Japanese American Cultural & Community Center (JACCC), located at 244 S. San Pedro St. in Little Tokyo.
“Our community and nation are forever indebted to these Japanese Americans from all wars, whose names are engraved on the four monuments in the Memorial Court, for their supreme sacrifices for the United States of America,” organizers said. “We invite fellow veterans, active-duty personnel and all members of the community to join us to remember and honor our heroes who gave their precious lives on our behalf.”
The keynote speaker will be Col. Russell Nakaishi, commanding officer of the 40thSupport Detachment of the California State Military Reserve. Emcee will be Ron Yamada, president of the Ted Tanouye Memorial Foundation. Singing will be Helen Ota, director of donor engagement and special events for the JACCC and member of the Grateful Crane Ensemble.
Also participating will be representatives from the many veteran and community organizations throughout Southern California. Koyasan Buddhist Temple’s Boy Scout Troop 379 and the Redondo Union High School Marine Corp Jr. ROTC will again perform the uniformed ceremonies of the service. Representatives from the Buddhist and Christian faiths will offer prayers to these brave men.
