Stamp Our Story
The JACL is supporting a campaign to honor the Nisei World War II soldiers with a stamp. The goal is to convince President Obama to approve a stamp for next year to coincide with the 75th anniversary of Executive Order 9066, which authorized the incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II.
