One Man’s Medal: The Story of George Nishimura-Part 4

By Hank Bonecutter | February 22, 2013 |

George Nishimura

Clarksville, TN – In researching this story, and getting to know the life of George Nishimura, I’ve learned so much about World War II that I have never known before.  His personal handwritten account of his life is an amazing recollection of what it was like growing up in a country that came under attack from the Japanese, and how he wanted to “do something” to help the Americans fight back.

With that in mind, Operations Eagle’s Nest would like to remind past and future supporters to think of those eleven days as a special time to financially support our troops and their families who give so unselfishly for us.

The war on terror continues and, in Afghanistan, that effort has been made more complicated and assumed new dimensions by the ever-changing tactics of the Taliban and al Qaeda. «Read the rest of this article»
