JACL Goals
BY GEORGE J. INAGAKI

That this edition, your 9th ami
versary. is being dedicated to Hiro-
shi Miyamura. CMH winner is
most appropriate
Many events of significance to
japanese Americans occurred dur
ing 1858: the naturalization of hun
dreds of Issei, the appointment of
Nisei judge in Los Angeles the be-
ginning of quota immigration from
Japan and the payment of evacua-
ton claims awards to several thou
sand claimants
BY far outshining all other events.
in my belief, is the awarding of the
nations highest military honor to
an American of Japanese ancestry,
Sgt Miyamura.
Sgt Miyamura or "Hersh" as he
is known to his friends, by his he
rOic deeds on the battlefield has
alone brought more credit, glory and
recognition to all persons of Japa-
nese ancestry than any other indi-
vidual or event.
AS Mike Masaoka JACL repre-
sentative in Washington, DC, so
aptlv phrased it in the Pacific Citi-
zen Holiday Issue. Sgt Miyamura's
award was "Niseidoms finest hour
in 1953-and perhaps for all time. "
Much has been said and written
about the Congressional Medal of
Honor how the elements of courage
and sacrifice are necessary ingredi-
ents, that even generals must per-
form personal deeds of selfless he
roism to merit this medal. all of the
glorious military tradition and his
tory that surrounds the CMH. To
say more is superfluous
They are to me. two important
aspects of Sgt Miyamura's winning
the Medal of Honor
First, it Immediately brings
deep sense of gratitude because of
the distinction he has brought to
every Japanese American who can
proudly bask in the reflected glory
of his achievement He has fur
Their assured favorable place for
all Nisei and Issei in American So
ciety.
Secondly he has provided the in
spira.ion for all Americans to emu
Iate-to conduct himself in self
less spirit despite overwhelming
odds to feel for others in sacrifi-
ciaI sense and. perhaps as import
antly. to carry the burden of popular
acclaim with unassuming modesty
The japanese American Citizens
League is grateful because Sgt. Mi
vamura's great attainment has
made JACL's task an easier one.
The JACL is grateful too, because
of Sgt Miyamura's own faith and
confidence in the JACL as the most
effective instrumentality by which
to secure the many advances it has
made for persons of Japanese an
cestry
Hersh has expressed his desire to
continue as an active member of the

of which he is a charter member
and wears his JACL pin with his

upon all Nisei to accept the chal-
lenge he has provided to become
