Your Dad sounds like a great guy, and someone to be proud of. Sorry the US took your property back then.

Our families share some American history. My paternal family was locked up in WWII too. Grandma, grandpa and their three kids, including my dad, who is the last one still alive at 85, spent the war in a desert prison camp, courtesy of Uncle Sam. He spent his entire career designing stuff for the DoD to kill commies, too. F'king disgraceful what happened back then. Heart Mountain for your fam'? Gila River here.

Happy that there are still some patriots left, and thanks for sharing, HC.

If you can visit Manzinar. about fifteen miles north of Lone Pine, California, on the US 395. It is the best preserved camp still standing, though there are two buildings left. One if the high school that the interned citizens built for their kids. It has been converted itno a Visitors Center.

It is a very moving and sometimes disturbing experience. My then twelve year old burst into tears six times while reading the displays. But there are chronicles of heroism like your families displayed as well as the vain support of good Americans. I am glad that my children experienced this.
