If you, a family member or friend is eligible for the Congressional Gold Medal and you can go to the San Jose ceremony, PLEASE register by 11/16/11! They are looking for WW II veterans who served in the 100th / 442nd or MIS.
“Congressional leaders have awarded the Congressional Gold Medal (CGM) to the U.S. Army’s
100th Infantry Battalion, the 442nd Regimental Combat Team (RCT) and the Military Intelligence
Service (MIS) for their extraordinary accomplishments in World War II. The National Veterans
Network has been designated as the entity that will plan and execute the Congressional Gold
Medal ceremony and associated events on November 2, 2011 in Washington, D.C.
The Japanese American Museum of San Jose (JAMsj), in conjunction with Congressional Represent-
atives Zoe Lofgren, Mike Honda and Anna Eshoo, the San Jose Chapter of the Japanese American
Citizens League (JACL), the Friends and Families of Nisei Veterans (FFNV), and local VFW Post
9970 are planning a local ceremony in San Jose, CA. This event will be for veterans and their
families, as well as widows or families of veterans, who are unable to attend the ceremony in
Washington, D.C.
The San Jose event is being planned to take place in February 2012. Please check this website
periodically for the date, time and location of the San Jose ceremony (please note that the date
mentioned above in the banner heading is not the date of the ceremony, as it could be held any
time during early 2012—probably February, but possibly as soon as January or as late as March).”
