DESCRIPTION:An agreement was signed Thursday May 26\, 2011 between the Nati
 onal  Japanese American Historical Society (NJAHS) and The Presidio Trust 
  (Trust) to rehabilitate Building 640 in the Presidio of San Francisco  fo
 r reuse as the Military Intelligence Service Historic Learning Center  (MI
 SHLC). Building 640\, a former warehouse located along Crissy Field\,  is 
 the site of the first Military Intelligence Service Language School  organ
 ized in November 1941 on the eve of  World War II to train 58 Nikkei (Japa
 nese American) and 2 Caucasian US  Army personnel as soldier linguists to 
 serve in the Pacific Theater.\n \n &ldquo\;This  is an American story\, &l
 dquo\; explained NJAHS Board member and MIS veteran  Marvin Uratsu\, whose
  late brother Gene was a member of the first  class.&ldquo\;It is told by 
 those who served their country in a time that the  US Constitution was rea
 lly tested. As Japanese Americans we chose these  paths in the hope that o
 ur America could become &lsquo\;a more perfect union&rsquo\;.&rdquo\;\n \n
  A  special ceremony will be held on Memorial Day\, May 30\, 2011 at 9:30 
 am  at the Building 640 site to celebrate this historic agreement. Call  N
 JAHS at 415.921.5007 or email njahs@njahs.org for more information on  the
