On this day, join others in remembering the Nisei soldiers of World War II from the 100th Battalion, the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, the Military Intelligence Service and the 1399 Engineer Construction Battalion. This free event at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific is open to the public and is sponsored by the Nisei Veterans Legacy, whose mission is to preserve, perpetuate and share the legacy of these Nisei soldiers. The keynote speaker, Tom Coffman, is currently working on a book about Nisei soldiers and has authored many books detailing Hawaii's history and political development.

Parking is free on the grounds, except in the reserved parking spaces on Mall Drive. This event is part of the Gannenmono celebration to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the arrival of the first Japanese immigrants to Hawaii.
