She had good reason to be upset. This reminds me of the Inola Gay fiasco. Here is a link to the article where she lays out her objections in great detail. It is sickening.

Enola Gay
it’s interesting to me that the spokesperson of the East West Center mentions that they had only a single complaint .
That must be why that person got on Fox News (Hannity) with that single complaint .
Write to the East West Center and (politely) add your voices :

Thank you, for posting the link.
When I read the first news here at Free Republic I wondered, and still wonder, why there was no response mentioned anywhere from the 100th/442nd, which still has, last I knew about, a very active chapter in Hawaii.
Of course, the 100th/442nd were deployed to fight in Europe, which means to seminar participants they know nothing about the subject and were probably not invited.
One of my cherished memories was being invited and hosted by a 141st Infantry Regiment reunion in Denver just after a number of Asian/Pacific Islander decorations had been upgraded to the Medal of Honor. At the association business meeting I attended, as a guest, a WWII 442nd veteran spoke about a thought unbelievable, then, but not after hearing him speak to those WWII brothers. As horrible as it was, “Pearl Harbor was a good thing, because it brought us together and united us.”
At the Association dinner, the newly recognized Medal of Honor recipients, one of which was in attendance and spoke to us, were recognized by the regiment whose battalion was rescued by . . . brothers-in-arms.
I also attended the regional premier of HBO’s, “The Pacific” shown at the Nimitz Museum, The National Museum of the Pacific War, located in Fredericksburg, Texas. We arrived early, handed over our museum member tickets, and were escorted to the second floor to watch the show on a flat screen television, because the main hall was already filled to capacity . . . with elder Navy and Marine veterans and their familes!
Wonder what those premier attending veterans and their families might think about this thread?
Thanks,
