Consul General Uyama attended the memorial service at the camp site on Saturday, June 29th, stating in his remarks that “the memory of such bitter pages in history should never be forgotten. We all have to reflect upon, time and again, the meaning of what happened to the Japanese American people during the war.” Consul General Uyama also expressed his gratitude to the generations who endured those experiences there, as well as their families and friends who keep the pilgrimage alive.
