Three Sansei veterans from the Buddhahead Breakfast Club will be чувственный порнографcelebrated on an Honor Flight to the nation’s capital to be acknowledged for their military service during the Vietnam War.
Unlike other wars, the Vietnam veterans never received a welcome home or thank you for their service from the country they served.
Honor Flight Southland is a nonprofit organization that flies veterans to Washington, D.C., to visit memorials built in their honor. The program, founded in 2005, provides free transportation, accommodations, and meals to veterans and their guardians during the trip.
The primary focus is on honoring veterans from World War II, Korea, and Vietnam, but also includes terminally ill veterans from any era of service to the country.
Honor Flight Mission 18, which takes place May 16 to 18, will include three World War II, five Korean War and 29 Vietnam War veterans. They include:
? Army veteran Kiyo Fukumoto. Born and raised in Los Angeles, he joined the Army Ready Reserves after graduating from CSULA with a degree in elementary education. Kiyo was assigned to the 6th Army Engineers, Topography Unit, a mobile unit with the aid of specially designed trucks that developed and reproduced maps for use by the military command and troops. Fukumoto received his discharge in 1969 at the rank of Specialist 4.
Post-military, he had a 38-year career with the Los Angeles Unified School District as a teacher, advisor, and administrator. He continues to be an active volunteer in various community organizations and projects.
? Army veteran Cory Shiozaki. Born in Chicago and raised in Gardena, he joined the Army in 1969 and was assigned to an armored battalion after completing basic training. After completing his jungle training, he was reassigned to Fort McArthur in San Pedro as a radio broadcast specialist. After completing his active service, Shiozaki continued to serve in the Army Reserves until 1975.
Post-military, he has had a successful career in Hollywood as a cinematographer, director, and documentary filmmaker. His award-winning documentary “The Manzanar Fishing Club” received a Certificate of Congressional Recognition and the Camp Stories Award at the Cherry Blossom Festival of Southern California. He also worked as an extra in the Mel Brooks classic “Young Frankenstein.”
? Army veteran Yooji “Ron” Shintani. Born and raised in Los Angeles, he was trained as a pharmacist when he joined the Army. After completing basic training at Fort Ord in Monterey, he became a Medical Corps pharmacist at the 121st Evac. Hospital in Ascom City near Bupyong, Korea. Shintani served in the Army Medical Corps from 1968 to 1969.
Honor Flight Southland salutes Fukumoto, Shiozaki, and Shintani for their service and is looking forward to welcoming them on their “Tour of Honor.”
The three sansei veterans will be returning on Sunday, May 18, at LAX, along with 26 other Vietnam-era veterans. Southwest Flight WN3261 is due to arrive at 12:30 p.m. Please consider meeting them at the Terminal 1 Southwest baggage carousel to give these veterans the “Welcome Home” they didn’t experience following their service during the course of the war.
