One of the most moving moments of my life was a few years ago when I visited the Pearl Harbor memorial. Reading the names of the deceased, there were a couple where father and son perished, brothers, etc.

I got mad at the japs all over again.

I assume you speak of the Arizona memorial. Yes, it's very moving. If you recall, there's a section of that where the list of the Marines that perished on the Arizona are listed. It was in that area that I got to re-enlist. I got to raise and lower a flag on the Arizona's flag pole and that flag was then presented to me. I then went on to re-enlist in the Corps. One of my most cherished moments. Another stirring moment for me is being on ship coming into Pearl and manning the rails past the Arizona memorial. It sends a chill down your spine doing that.

I know exactly what you mean, but I want to comment further. I don't know many Japanese Americans personally, but FWIW my experience with them is very positive. Words like "respectful" and "productive" come to mind. Unlike our foreign invaders from the south.
