DAYTON -- The earthquake, tsunami and nuclear crisis that have devastated Japan has left many in the Miami Valley wondering how they can be of help.

As his military superiors recognized, Watada "likes challenges and moves toward the fight." On June 7, 2006, in a church near Ft. Lewis, Washington, Watada announced that he would not comply with orders to deploy to Iraq. Supporters, including his parents and his attorney, held a concurrent press conference in Honolulu. In his initial pledge of resistance, Watada said, "It is my conclusion as an officer of the armed forces that the war in Iraq is not only morally wrong, but a horrible breach of American law.

"Welcome to Topaz, Jewel of the Desert," it says -- a fact that brought a wry chuckle from the audience gathered Saturday for the Japanese American Citizens League's Day of Remembrance 2008. It's been nearly 66 years since Grace Fujimoto Oshita was a 17- year-old girl arriving at the Topaz Japanese-American internment camp during World War II. Now in her early 80s, Oshita has spent a lot of time thinking about what the government did then and has spent the past 40 years speaking to school children and community groups, in the hope that if people remember what happened, future Topazes might be avoided.
