You'll never believe what I found last night!!! [View All]

[fooj]

FYI- I'm married to a 6'1'' Asian. You should see the looks we get when we fly into Dallas/Ft. Worth! LOL!!! His family lost everything after Pearl Harbor. Everything.

My husband brought home a book of his deceased uncle (from his mom's house) and inside it had "Evacuee Instructions" dated June 1944 for the Japanese Internment Camp in Poston, Colorado. It is in PERFECT condition...issued by the US Govt. UNFRICKINGBELIEVABLE. I've already contacted a woman I know who preserves these types of documents in a local museum and she was stoked to hear that we'd like to donate it and have it preserved. I told her that I felt it was an important piece of history and it should be saved so generations to come have a first-hand look of WHAT DID AND COULD happen in this country. What a trip. I'm just blown away right now. I'm telling you....it was creepy to read! Especially with things going the way they are right now.

Mostly, I felt shame and sadness. We can't go back to this. We just can't.

Thanks for letting me share.

Peace.
