GANBARE: Example of Japanese Spirit - This powerful book by Patsy Sumie Saiki documents the wartime experiences of Japanese Americans in Hawaii during World War II. Through deeply personal oral histories, it sheds light on the internment, discrimination, and resilience faced by this community in the aftermath of Pearl Harbor. Despite hardship and injustice, the spirit of ganbare, meaning to endure and persevere, shines through in every story. This book is a moving tribute to the strength of Japanese cultural values and a vital piece of Hawaii’s wartime history.
This flag was a gift for my husband for Fathers Day from our family. We had it flown on his birthday. He is US Navy, Ret and was very moved by this gift!
We now hope to plan a trip to the Pearl Harbor Memorial Site!
A fantastic interpretation and retelling of the men who left home and family to fight for freedoms still denied them, and who proved their loyalty to a country they loved through valor and sacrifice few other units have equaled.
Mar was so helpful and found the shirt so quickly and sent it out so fast. I really appreciate their help. You have made my husband very happy. Thank you.
