 the front lines in Europe\, and the return of the Japanese to the West Coa

  Masuda\, who received the Distinguished Service Cross for single handedly
  turning back a German counterattack in Italy as part of the all-Japanese 
 442nd Regimental Combat Team.  Chung will also bring to life the story of 
 Fred Korumatsu\, whose civil rights case stemming from the internment of t
 he Japanese rose to the level of the US Supreme Court.  The show will also
  include the story of Ben Kuroki\, the only Japanese American to fly in a 
 B-17 Bomber over Europe and his encounter with the No-No Boys in the US ba
 sed internment camps\, who refused to fight for the US until their civil r
 ights were restored.  Chung's storytelling is complemented with music by M
 ike Van Liew.
