The all Japanese American 100th / 442nd Regiment Combat Team is a symbol of a “Y” shaped crossroad for my familial history; however, unlike a typical crossroad of either right or left, no path was disloyal or unjust, but rather both paths led to the same end road that was the result of bravery and courage.
