Article about internment camp survivors appreciated

Editor,

We want to thank the Standard-Examiner and Dana Rimington, the reporter who wrote the article about our panel discussion regarding the relocation camp experiences during WWII (Feb. 24, “Internment camp survivors share stories”).  

Ted Nagata, one of our panel members, stated a stark reality that after the four panel members die, there will be no survivors of the camp left to talk about the experience. But your compassionate interest in our stories gives us hope that these stories will be repeated and talked about over and over again so that this terrible mistake our government made will never happen again.
