After the war, when a monument for the Nisei soldiers was being built, Nob Kagawa was one of its main supporters. He shakes his head when he was fundraising and some people said, “Who cares?” or “My family’s name is not going to be on there.” He wanted to tell these people, “Do you think you would be that successful if it wasn’t for the men of the 100th/442nd?” He remains silent, however, as it is the gaman of his generation..During his time, he was not able to stand up. He says they just obeyed the law as they were told to go to camp: “Okay,” go to war…“Okay,” fight for your country…“Okay.” Today he hopes Japanese Americans will “protest” if they are treated unjustly, as he did not have the chance to do that. He wants Japanese Americans in the future to look back at what these men did to allow them to “become successful.”Read more about Nob Kagawa in The Go For Broke Spirit -- source link
