Anaheim Armed Forces Day Parade in 2001
Henry Nisikawa, Frank Pangborn and our current President Greg Young.
Henry is a Vietnam Veteran that Greg met in Gallup, New Mexico on the 2001
"Run for the Wall" and subsequently they both became his very close
and personal friends. Henry was 72 years young at that time. He made five
trips "all the way" to the Vietnam Memorial in DC and back with his
last "run" in 2004. When Henry was a juvenile, he and his
family were interned during the war and spent three years in Poston, a
relocation camp. When the war ended in 1945, he and his family were released
and Henry joined the US Army. Henry spent tours in occupied Japan, Korea and
Vietnam. He retired after 25 years of Military Service and then spent another
25 years working for the Federal Government. The G-Man states that Henry
is a true American Patriot and one of his heroes......one can understand why.
Semper Fi Henry and thank you for your service and
sacrifice......Monsoon |
