Collections Day
October 13, 2007
Our second Talk Story and Collections Day was another great success. We thank the veterans, wives, widows and children who came to help us develop our collection by identifying people and places in old photo albums, donating articles to our archives, and taking the time to tell their stories.

It was wonderful to see 100th Infantry veteran Masao Sato! Masao, a long-time board member of the Nisei Veterans Memorial Center, talks with Andy Nagata, son of the late 100th Infantry veteran Tom Nagata. |

No get together would be complete without a lot of ono food! |
Our thanks to the Maui Sons and Daughters of the Nisei Veterans for their help in hosting our Collections Day.
