Pearl Harbor

On December 7th, Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese.
As I was walking on the deck, I felt a rumble. I was thinking to myself, “my there working hard on the drills”. I continued walking and as I looked around I was shocked because I saw my men on the floor bleeding. I couldn’t believe what was happening… we were under attack

Possesion

The First BloiwsOn Dec. 11, 1941 the FBI warned "suspected 'enemy' aliens" about possessing guns or cameras. US Attorney General Biddle ordered they be turned in on Dec. 27th. I, as a Japanese American citizen, should still be able to have weapons. As an a American, according to the second amendment, I have the right to bear arms. I am very angered and outraged that my rights are being violated!
