members during a Recognition and Reconciliation Ceremony organized

years old when he was ordered to go to war by the government that
had herded him to an internment camp. He refused and was sent to
prison where he was ostracized by his community and branded a
traitor by the powerful JACL. The organization formally apologized
to the resisters on Saturday. (AP Photo/Paul Sakuma) -
