On 19 February 1942,

On 19 February 1942, a programme to forcibly transport Japanese-American communities to internment camps began, with the ratification of Executive Order 9066. 


This came in the aftermath of the Pearl Harbor attack the previous December, as thousands of US citizens with Japanese ancestry were declared ‘alien enemies’. These measures far surpassed any taken towards Italians or Germans living in America.

PHOTOS: Why These World War II Sex Slaves Are Still Demanding Justice

PHOTOS: Why These World War II Sex Slaves Are Still Demanding Justice Fedencia Nacar David holds her photo for an application to work as a maid.  She was 15. A year before, a Japanese soldier sliced her ear and threatened to behead her if she didn't go to a garrison with him; she was raped over 10 days. "It still hurts," she says. "I was innocent. Why did that happen to me?" She kept her past from her children until "comfort women" began  speaking out in the 1990s. Narcisa Claveria will turn 89 this year, two days before Christmas. Stepping onto the veranda of the family apartment, she takes a moment to check on her 92-year-old husband, who eyes visitors with a weary look. The couple lives in the hill town of Antipolo, an hour outside Manila, in the Philippines. Outwardly, she is grandmotherly, sweet and tranquil. But when memories from 75 years ago are tapped, her mood changes. Narcisa begins to cry as she thinks back to her childhood in the Philippin...

Another addition to the "Underrated

Image
Another addition to the "Underrated/Unknown War Movie" list. Taegukgi: The Brotherhood Of War. Tells the story of two brothers who are forcibly drafted into the South Korean army at the outbreak of the Korean War and how one brother will do ANYTHING to send his younger brother home safely. Filled with high drama and visceral, well-crafted combat scenes. Very impressive overall based on the fact that it was made on 1/5 of the budget as Saving Private Ryan & is arguably just as powerful. I can't recommend this film enough. The ending will break you 💯

Communicating With Your Partner On Deployment

Communicating With Your Partner On Deployment Hopefully, you and your service member had a discussion during pre-deployment about how often you'll communicate while he's gone. If you didn't do this before he left, it's not too late to try to establish these expectations now. However, even with a tentative calling or emailing schedule, both you and your service member may struggle to maintain the routine. As much as service members would like to establish a schedule for reaching their loved ones, their missions in a combat zone or operational activities may interfere. As a result, many spouses and partners carry cell phones with them at all times to avoid missing their service member's call. tone can be mistaken, causing confusion and conflict. Whenever possible, both you and your service member should give one another the benefit of the doubt when something that is expressed in writing just "doesn't seem right." This can save both of you a great deal o...
