Lest We Forget...

A memorial service was held over the weekend at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu. It was part of the 62nd anniversary reunion of the famed 442nd Regimental Combat Team, made up of Americans of Japanese ancestry (some of whom where "interned" when World War II began). "Pierre Moulin and his 6-year-old son, Martin, paid their respects after laying a wreath during the ceremony. Moulin is from Bruyeres, France, a town that was liberated by the 442nd during World War II."
