WWII Monday Round-Up

by Rana Williamson

Last week was an incredibly busy one both for me personally and for World War II related stories. I do want to pluck one story out of the Monday Roundup list to feature, “Group Campaigns for Stamp Honoring World War II Nisei Veterans” from ksby.com in California. The role of these American-born Japanese-Americans in the fighting is one that has not yet been fully recognized and honored and supporting a memorial stamp is but a small step in the right direction. (Click here for the Wiki article on Nisei Japanese American.)

Other stand-outs from the RSS reader that did not find their way into posts here include:

- Letter: Heroic World War II Veterans Are Fading from the Journal Gazettte Times-Courier.
- WWII Show Rekindles Some Sad Memories from the Tucson Citizen.
- 15 Vets Take Final Cruise from the Chicago Tribune.
- Hong Kong Detonates Massive World War II Bomb from Reuters
- Local Volunteers Help Preserve World War II Bomber from The Canadian Jewish News
