3 JUNE 2017 75th Anniversary Remembrance of Japanese Internment Lewis County WA

[Amer-team]

Hello Team, this might be an odd post or request, but Lewis County WA is going to do a remembrance of the Japanese families that were taken to the local train station and sent to Internment camp on 2 JUNE 1942. If you would like to participate, we need early war uniforms and vehicles. So far we have 3 vehicles and a half dozen living historians in uniform. There will be some talk and a dedication of a plaque to their memory.

Event will be that the Lewis County Historical Museum, 599 NW Front Street, Chehalis, WA 98532. Time 1000 - 1400

Come out in period attire or come and listen to a forgotten part of our history. More to come on this.

Actual service will take place at 1100 with a bit of the history and a plaque dedication. Coffee and cookies will be served. Right now we will have 3 vehicles and a few people in early war uniforms, with model 41 field jackets.
