Thank you ...Mr. Tanabe's story is heartwarming. Thank you so much for sharing it. Earlier this year, my husband and I went to an art exhibit of work done by Japanese-Americans in relocation camps during the war. You might find it interesting to see some of the pics I posted on the two-part story about that time in our history, etc. (You can find them by clicking on the "Gaman" tag on the side of my blog.) And yes sir, I have voted, even though my vote carries next to no weight in my state. The winner here is already a foregone conclusion.

There are a surprising number of places in this world where the democratic process is not afforded. We owe it to Frank--and all of the numerous veterans who've come before--to embrace our liberties and protect them just as fiercely. <br /><br />Vote!
