  • Apr/Jun 2005
    ________________________________________________________________________ APRIL – JUNE, 2005 VOLUME XIII – NUMBER 2_____ PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE A hearty greeting to all JAVA members! Half of 2005 is already behind us, but JAVA has made the most of those six months. As you might know, I was called to active duty to head a team in Afghanistan earlier this year, returning last month. JAVA has been fortunate to have Terry Shima, Executive Director, ensure JAVA didn’t skip a beat, and maybe even pick up the pace. As many of you may have heard, I will start a new brigadier general job at Fort Belvoir, VA next month. The not so good news is that they will need me in Korea for a while in the near future. We’ll see… JAVA has made many strides so far this year, thanks to the oversight of our Executive Council. I’d like to mention the most significant ones, of which more information is available on our website, www.javadc.org. Consistent with our goal to ensure we are at the leading edge of veterans issues, JAVA has joined the National Military Veterans Alliance. NMVA consists of 30 national veterans organizations that represent 4.5 million members. For details see article in this News letter. With our focus on the future, JAVA needs to look to the wars of the latter half of the last century, as well as those occurring today, for role models for the new generations of Japanese Americans. We are therefore aggressively reaching out to Korean and Vietnam War veterans to support our speakers program and web-based information, which we hope inspire both researchers and the younger generations.

  • Music for a Shadow Play)
    Gamelan (Music for a Shadow Play) By Lawrence R. Tirino ©2013 To the good people who have been led astray by madmen, and especially to those who have suffered as a result. 1.Death in the Afternoon Chucha de tu madre! Que bestia!¨ Louis grumbled under his breath as he listened to the men on red scooters visiting all the small shopkeepers. ¨Chulqueros! ¨ He spat into the gutter. ¨Todo el pueblo anda chiro; ¨ - meaning of course that everyone‟s pockets held lint, or dust, or assorted garbage, but none of them held any money. They can‟t get credit cards, and banks won‟t lend them the small amounts that they needed to keep their business running, so they look for one of the countless street shysters that sit drinking coffee at beachfront restaurants in the afternoons when the sun has mellowed. These merchant bankers are the survivors who fled the brutality of their own countries; and although they now wear fine leather shoes and silk shits, the scent of decadence still clings to their pores. Last year they were charging twenty per cent of the principle on the first of the month. Nervous shopkeepers were easily confused into believing that they were paying the same rates as banks. Now it was even easier; a few dollars every day. But all the borrower ever pays is interest. One day the victim wakes up and realizes their mistake; and then they fold and disappear into the nighttime air. Or perhaps the back page of the morning paper. Sunday, the saddest day.
