• What Japanese internment camp did you and your family go to?
• What was it like living in Colorado?
• When did you enlist or were you drafted?
• What was it like to lose fellow soldiers?
• When you were young did you feel American?
• Tell me about the smells of war.
• If you could change one thing about the world what would it be?
