"JAvoice.com wants to make certain that the collective
recollection of Japanese Americans is representative of the diversity of our
entire
community... However, those in control of the memorial to our community's history -- the Japanese American Memorial to Patriotism During World War II, in Washington, DC, opening in the fall 2000 -- proceeded from a limited perspective. The memorial, as it is now designed, only reflects a
certain point of view." - "We are dedicated to preserving a sense of ethnic community among
Japanese Americans living in the Seattle area. We are affiliated with
the Nisei Veterans Committee (NVC), which sponsors our organization, and we
seek to honor their sacrifices during the war, their commitments to the
community, and their efforts to better the lives of their children
and descendants." - , billed as the first online WWII museum:
