Thank you for making people aware of this. I love the places you go to.

Absolutely. It is an important, but unfortunately often overlooked by visitors and locals.

Great job on exposing this dark chapter in American history that people like to forget or are not even aware of. On my way from Yosemite back to Vegas I took my kids there to see this place, and as a Japanese American, I felt that they needed to see it.

Absolutely- it is an important site for kids to learn about our past, good and bad. Thanks for taking them over!

Thanks for the informative video. It’s important to acknowledge and never forget this history with the hope that it never happens again. On a lighter note, I hope Michael didn’t swallow a bug in the bloopers and congratulations on selling your condo. Happy that you guys have committed to full time #vanlife

Very nice as I had just completed watching WWll, 1-season, 10-episodes shown on Netflix, From start to end some never before seen film footage. So this worked out well and a must-stop for us as well thanks. Great information. The Monument reads: "National Memorial California" the other side reads: "1943 Public month, day, Yukito" "1943 Kogetsu or Hiyukito Niwayuki" (with help from Google Translate APP).

On the monolith, all I can read is the words on the right. August 1943.

Good to know! ☺️

To be clear, the Japanese government bombed Pear Harbor, killing 3,000 people. FDR , a Democrat made the call.

[@johnklink4825]

There’s more to the story. Ask the Chinese what they think of the Japanese

[@theRTWguys]

What would they say?

[@whitemonkeyhuskydog659]

@@theRTWguys They would say, "oh, these were Americans."
