Ii was with q profound sense Oh
gratitude that I accepted the very
kind invitation of your committee
to participate in this ceremony All
those who took part in the events
which are here concentrated, all
soldiers, all Americans, all believers
In Justice and Righteousness, must
appreciate the fitness of that which
we do here today.
To those who do not know their
purpose monuments are cold things
of metal and stone-to those with
understanding they are living SYM
bols of living events and living per-
sonalit:es and it is right tina. you
should here erect this monument.
1t viii! be a constant reminder to
All who view 1t and understand it
that truly Japanese-Americans have
earned that right by sacrifice CT
life and body, through hardship, in
spite of discrimination and preju-
dice. That they have earned that
right by proving themselves to be
the living embodiment of American
ism.
Calls 442nd A Memory
Six years ago today, May 30, 1913.
1000 young japanese Americans OF
IN d42nd combat team were just
entering the first phase of their
military training.
Fee ye-~s ago today. May 30.
1914. the 442nd combat team was IN
I.aly-preparing to enter combat
north of Rome. In the months be-
fore. the Tooth Infantry Battalion
had laid the ground work for the
442nd at Anzio and in the capture
of the capitol of Italy.
Four years ago today, May 80,
1o45. Germany had laid down its
arms. The now veteran combat
team was guarding 100000 Ger
man and Italian prisoners of war
at Ghedi Airport in Italy and the
first 80 men were preparing to
leave for the States and discharge.
Three years ago today the 442no
Infantry was a memory.
The meaningful period in thai
history is of course, those months
of combat in 1914 and l945.
Cites HOnOrs Earned
- The bare statistics are cleal
enough. $50 days of front line com
bat, $50 men and officers killed
$500 wounded and $500 casualties
of all types, and only Ct missing IL
action (moSt of whom were late
reported killed. and total of abou
$4,000 decorations, including 10 dis
tinguished unit citations, Congress
sional Medal of Honor, Distinguishes
Service Crosses. Silver Stars, Bronz
Stars and Purple Hearts. If on
were to include combat infantrymai
badges the total would be abou
$4,000 decorations. So far as I hav
been able to discover that is NOR
than was earned by any other regi
ment in the Army, and in fact NOR
than was earned by most divisions
But, of course, the bare statistic
arc not the whole story. They onl
indicate the outline; they are a re
cord. an index of the achievement
What those achievements were
are encased in place names. ma
mes which are enshrined in the
military annals of our country,
and in the hearts and minds of
many of us-Salerno, Casino, An
zio and Rome, where the first
contingent, the Tooth Battalion
won the first wreaths of fame

its original strength, and had aSSlS-
ted in breaking the back Of German
resistance in central Italy
Then came Florence, Pisa and the
crossing of the Arno River in Sept
ember to capture the mountain
ridges framing the Arno Valley on
the north.
Nisei Overcame All Obstacles
In late September 1914 the combat
team landed in France, and Joined
the 7th Army. On October Is the
unit launched its attack upon Bru-
yeres i'll the Vosges Mountains. In
the next 80 days came Hills A, B,
c, and D, Hill 555. Task Force o.
Conner, Hill sos, Belmont, Biffon-
tame, Hill 703, Col de Arnelie, the
Lost Battalion, Hill 585 and Forest
Dominate du Champ. This period
saw difficult terrain and the most
stubborn enemy encountered by the
unit. The Germans had determined
to hold the Vosges Mountains during
the winter and fought bitterly to
do So. Counterattacks were numerous
and hard pressed but the unit push
ed slowly but surely on and over
came all obstacles.
December of 1914 and the next
8 months find the 442nd high in
the Maritime Alps on the French
Italian Border. Although the fight
ing here was not hard the casual
ties mounted daily. To be remem-
bcred are such places as Nice, Men
ton, Castillon, Sospel, MOulenet,
Piera Cava, Luceram, Col de Bras,
LEscarene.
At the end of March 1945 the
combat team, minus the 552nd Field
Artilley Battalion, moved back tc
Italy and the last combat of the war
On April S, 1915, the attack was
launched against the well dug-ir
Germans on their winter line. Tht
men fought and slugged with the
enemy in heart and back-break-
ing country.

not 60 unheralded we all know, bu
lei us review what some OF tn
country's leaders said of them.
Leaders Applaud Them
Mr.. John ]. McCloy, Under Sec
rotary of War during World Wa
II said:
81 took an active part in urg-
ing the Army to form the japanese
American Battalions and followed
their organization very closely
There is nothing I did in my SER
vice in the War Department In
which I took greater satisfaction
than this. The record of the Mise
battaliOns is one of the most spec
tacular of all our military units
They endured many hard and
even bitter campaigns Their re
cord shows that they won at least
II not more, decorations for brav
cry as any units of the same siz
in the entire Army"
! General Mark w. Clark, who w
I the Commander of the 5th Army
The Northwest times. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1947-1955, 1949-06-01

Italy has said:
"The supreme test of citizen
ship is the willingness Of man to
risk his life so that our country
may live. Under my command In
Italy the 442nd Infantry Regi-
ment and the Tooth infantry bat
talon composed of Nisei fought
the Nazi combat forces with the
valOr and skill characteristic Of
the young Americans that they
were. No officer has commanded
Drawer, more courageous troops
I'm combat"
General Clark also stated at the
time he conferred the first of 10
distinguished unit citations won by
the 442nd:
"You are always thinking of
your country before yourselves.
You have written a brilliant chap
ter in the history of the fighting
men of America. You are always
ready to close with the enemy and
you have always defeated him. The
34th Division is proud Of you and
the whole United States is proud
of you"
AS brilliant as is the record of
The combat units, it is by no means
the whole story.
Many Served in Pacific
There were thousands of other
Americans of japanese ancestry
Serving in the Armed Forces in
Europe and IN the Pacific. Their
record, unfortunately. is not as well
known but is every bit as heroic.
There were thousands of Nisei in
the Army Navy and Air Force COM
bat units which stormed the German
fortress of Europe, who went ashore
on D-Day and fought across France
and Germany until the end of the
war.
In the Pacific you find a particu-
larly fine record of accomplishment
It is told no better than in the
words of Colonel Sidney F. Mash
bir, wartime Chief of the Allied
Translator and Interpreter Section
of General MacArthur's Headquar-
tiers. IN a series of articles appear
ing in the Saturday Evening Pos
during March and April of 1945.
"A majority of our translatOrs
were American Nisei. Had 1t not
been for the loyalty, bravery, and
ability Of these Japanese-Ameri-
cans, many phases of intelligence
work in the Pacific would have
fallen flat.
~ know that their faithful SER
vice to the United States saved
many thousands of American lives
and shortened the war by months.
1t must be realized that this group
of men had more to lose than any
: others participating in the war.
Had any Of them been captured,
their torture would have been in
describable.
Throughout the war we never
had TO take any disciplinary mea-
sures where our Nisei were con-
cerned. When the Nisei got into
combat zones. they often were
fired on by both sides. The Japs
complicated this by infiltratiDe
our lines with men CARRIED In AM
erican and Australian uniforms
stripped off our dead. Finally We
issued orders that every Nisei go

panied by an American or Austria

For Jerry's estranged wife,
Audrey, life was one series Of
prosecutions after another. Jer-
rvs jealousy caused him to be
vindictive and cruel, He attemp-
ted to interfere with everything
she undertook to accomplish.
If she joined a dramatic group,
or a musical group, a writer's or
an art group, he used his pclitical
influence in order to crush them.
They could get no publicity, have
no success. This was in order
to keep Mrs. Jerry out of the
limelight and in order to help
build up the charges of perjured
eccentric temperament cruelty
and insanity, he h d tried to
place against her. If he could
prove this true, it would disprove
any truth she would give out. He
knew that she h d loved him
overwhelmingly, that she was a
fighter fer the right, and he was
certain that. she would Jose her
temper and do something that
eccentric or at least tempera-
would brand her as insane or
mental and hard to please. And
SO the plot thickened, with Jerry,
his mother, his girlfriends and
his lawyers pulling the strings.
But the puppet would not
jump. Instead, Mrs. Jerry in
