Letter from Ed Mayeshiba to Andrew Mayeshiba, April 7, 1943
In this letter, Ed tells his brother Andy that he will be able to take a furlough leave from the Army to visit Andy and his father at Heart Mountain. This was not an uncommon situation. Approximately 33,000 Japanese American men served in the U.S. military during World War II, while at the same time their family members were incarcerated for being Japanese American.
