Nisei Veterans Exhibit
A substantial exhibit of Nisei Veterans portraits and interviews will be exhibited this fall at San Francisco’s Presidio, November 11, 2009 – January 31, 2010
Heroes All! Nisei Veterans of WWII and Korea has been added as an adjunct to an exhibit of the National Japanese American Historical Society NJAHS honoring veterans of the MIS and the Presidio’s historic Building 640.
This will be the first Heroes All! exhibit since 2008, when the work was shown at the National Steinbeck Center. Black and white portraits of Nisei Veterans of the MIS and 100/442 are exhibited alongside their interviews. Portraits and interviews are the work of Tom Graves. More information will soon be available at heroesall.com.
Heroes All! will be exhibited alongside On Pacific War and Peace-the Story of the Nisei Linguist in the MIS 1941-1952 in the Presidio Officers Club. The National Japanese American Historical Society is establishing the Building 640 Museum in the Presidio. Building 640 was the original site of the Military Intelligence Service language school for MIS soldiers. Details are available at njahs.org.
