THE NATIONAL JAPANESE AMERICAN MEMORIAL FOUNDATION (A National Memorial To Patriotism) Washington D.C.

For over five years, a dedicated group of volunteers conceived a plan to build a historic memorial to commemorate the valor of all Japanese American war veterans who served this nation. They called themselves the Go For Broke National Veterans Association Foundation.

However, as they discussei) this memorial in the context of the experiences of all Japanese Americans during World War II, and by action of the United States Congress, the purpose of the memorial was extended to conserve a chapter on the loyalty and courage of all Japanese Americans in Hawaii and in the continental United States during World Wkrll.

The foundation was renamed the National Japanese American Memorial Foundation to implement this broadened mission and recruited a Board of Directors reflective of the broader community. They named the memorial the National Memorial to Patriotism . The United States Treasury has designated the Foundation as a Section 501(c) (3) public non-profit corporation which could accept contributions eligible for tax exemptions. In February 1997, the Board of Directors elected Melvin Chiogioji, Chairman of the Board.

The Memorial during its preliminary review by the Federal Fine Arts Commission r^eived high marks for its conceptual presentation. An advisory committee, composed of exceptional Nikkei architects, is workingjwith the Foundation as it refines the design.

All Amerieans and visitors from abroad who come to the Nation ’s ■ Capital will be enriched by seeing the Japanese American experience in World Wat II as part of the Nation ’s history. They will witness how a great Nation recognized its error and was forthright in its apology through the Civil Liberties Act passed by Congress in 1988. All who visit the Capital will be able to see this testament to America ’s reafrirmation ’io faimessand democratic principles so that such injustices will not happen again to any other group, rcgfirdless of race, religion or national origin.
