Stamp Our Story
United States
Приєднався 14 кві 2021
Stamp Our Story is the grassroots coalition of individuals, leaders, and organizations that advocated for a US commemorative postage stamp that would tell the inspiring story of the 33,000 American men and women of Japanese heritage who valiantly served in the US military during World War II. They enlisted despite intense racial prejudice directed at them that included forced incarceration of 120,000 West Coast Japanese Americans due only to their ancestry.
The Stamp Our Story Campaign began in 2005 when three Japanese American women (Fusa Takahashi, Aiko O. King, and the late Chiz Ohira) launched the effort for the stamp with family and friends. The campaign grew nationwide and even to France. Due to these collective efforts, the USPS released the "Go For Broke Japanese American Soldiers of World War II" Forever Stamp on June 3, 2021. Events to honor the legacy of these Americans are taking place across the nation this year starting on June 4, 2021.

I thank you honoring the Nisei veterans and the stamp will help keep they memories alive. I bought some stamps and put them next to the Congressional Gold medal for my father who served in the 442nd RCT in WWII.
I want to thank the US Postal System and all of the people who made this stamp possible honoring the Nisei WWII veterans. I know that most of the veterans have passed away but their service to the United States is honored with this stamp. I bought some stamps and put it with the Congressional Gold Medal as a reminder of my father's military service as a member of the 442nd RCT during WWII.
I thank you for your words of gratitude and my father was the 1st Sergeant Fox Company 442nd RCT who fought to save your husband.
Thank you
None braver
This is so sad. After all the people of color has done to defend and protect this country, we are still under attack. Blacks, Asians, Hispanics, Middle Easterners etc. This is supposed to be the land of the free? After centuries of fighting for America, we see many states implementing voter suppression laws aim directly at people of color and minorities. This is the true face of America!

Great comments, but the number 9,000 of Purple Hearts is incorrect. It should be "over 4,000" as stated in Public Law 111-254 that authorized the Congressional Gold Medal in October 2010. www.congress.gov/111/plaws/publ254/PLAW-111publ254.pdf

Thank you all Pacific Northwest military veterans, especially our Honored Nisei Veterans, like my father, from Honolulu and his fellow Nisei’s, the “Go For Broke” Hawaiians, who gave their all for their country….Many of these veterans have since passed, but to their surviving families may this commendation be a Forever remembrance in our turmoiled world today. God bless your All!!
