Some give in honor of their fallen comrades.
For others, it is a way to say "thank you" to the Nisei veterans.
"You should know that I, as a Sansei, one who has been fortunate not to experience the horrors of war, truly appreciate the sacrifices that the Nisei veterans made in the face of adversity. I am proud and honored to be related to one of those who later embarassed our great nation into admitting that a grave civil rights injustice was committed - not by loud protest or demonstration, but quielty and honorably by gallantry and heroics of action both on and off the battlefield."
