It’s fitting that AJA (Americans of Japanese ancestry) soldiers who fought in World War II will finally be honored on a U.S. postal stamp — and especially fitting that it be on “Forever” postage. The AJA soldier stamp arrives June 3.
It’s another important way for the historic bravery of the “Go for Broke” soldiers to live on for today’s and future generations. Despite mass internment camps and doubts about their patriotism, the Japanese-American soldiers proved their loyalty, fighting fiercely for the U.S. and democracy. It’s an American legend and legacy that deserve remembering — forever.
