I Am American: Nisei Soldier Experience Traveling Exhibit Opening & Celebration Event

Join us for the three-day opening celebration for the 11-city tour of the I Am An American: The Nisei Soldier Experience Traveling Exhibit.

“I Am An American: The Nisei Soldier Experience” is a new traveling exhibit that tells the storied history of second-generation Japanese Americans, known as “Nisei,” who demonstrated their loyalty during World War II by enlisting to serve in the U.S. Army. Nisei Soldiers served in the European Theater as part of the 100th Infantry Battalion, 442nd Regimental Combat Team—one of the most highly decorated units in military history—and in the Pacific Theater as linguists in the U.S. Army’s Military Intelligence Service.
