A Piece of History

Tonight in my Children's Lit class, we had a special guest. Ninety-two year old Mas Inoshita is a World War 2 veteran. He was a part of the 442nd regiment, a group of Japanese-American soldiers who left Japanese internment camps to fight for the United States Army. They are one of the most decorated groups in US history. It was truly a memorable experience meeting and visiting with him. I feel very fortunate to have had this opportunity. Time to share with these heroes is dwindling down and I am so very lucky to have met him. Here is a photo of him with my class!
