Wikipedia Description: National Japanese American Memorial To Patriotism During World War II
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The National Japanese American Memorial To Patriotism During World War II is national memorial in Washington, DC honoring the loyalty and courage of Japanese Americans during World War II and commemorating the heroism and sacrifice of Japanese Americans who fought and died for their country. It was authorized by federal statute (PL 102-502) and signed into law by President George H. W. Bush on October 24, 1992. The 0.76 acre site was transferred from the Architect of the Capitol to the Park Service in 1996. The Memorial was dedicated in 2000 and ownership of the Memorial was transferred to the United States Government in 2002. The National Park Service has the responsibility to maintain the Memorial. The project for the Memorial was initiated in 1988 by the "Go For Broke" National Veterans Association Foundation. The name of this organization was later changed to the National Japanese American Memorial Foundation (NJAMF).

The memorial is centered around a bronze sculpture of a crane with barbed wire by Nina Akamu. It also contains a bell modeled after a Japanese temple bell and a Zen garden-like pool of water with boulders representing the islands of Japan.

(Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.

2004 photos: Equipment this year: I bought two Fujifilm S7000 digital cameras. While they produced excellent images, I found all of the retractable-lens Fuji models had a disturbing tendency to get dust inside the lens. Dark blurs would show up on the images and the camera had to be sent back to the shop in order to get it fixed. I returned one of the cameras when the blurs showed up in the first month. I found myself buying extended warranties on cameras. Trips this year: (1) Margot and I went off to Scotland for a few days, my first time overseas. (2) I went to Hawaii on business (such a deal!) and extended it, spending a week in Hawaii and another in California. (3) I went to Tennessee to man a booth and extended it to go to my third Fan Fair country music festival. Number of photos taken this year: 110,000.
