Reviews
"Nice stop to learn some historical facts."
"It is always fun to find a piece of American History you didn't realize was there. An important site for highlighting how our freedoms are not free, and how fear can force decision making that takes those freedoms away. It also demonstrates the perseverance and willingness to overcome difficult situations."
"A memorial to Japanese internment camp located near here. An interesting memorial with some history to learn about. Miles from nowhere but worth the stop."
"My great grandmother died in this camp. Very touching memorial and surreal to see what's left of one of the original camps."
"I am here with over 250 actual survivors, family members, veterans. I am at awe the positive karma from the Native Americans and all Japanese families. Although it was a tough time for the Japanese during the time of the encampments, these people focused on the positive side of the times and made the best if it. We all have so much to learn from these people. So PROUD, PATRIOTIC, AND NOT ONE PERSON DISRESPECTED THE AMERICAN FLAG, NOT ONE OF THEM DISRESPECTED THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, NOT ONE OF THEM DISRESPECTED THE NATIONAL ANTHEM! NO EXCUSES, NO TALK OF REPARATIONS, just down to earth well educated grateful to be American people. I am so proud to be with them here today and share in their positive powerful remembrance."
