"Sixty-three years later"


I met Katharyn Uyetani in the spring of 1945.
She would became my friend the same year our United
States Government, allowed a few of our citizens to leave
Concentration Camps, where they had been illegally interned.

When we first met I assumed she was Native American, so I asked
her “ What tribe are you? ”. She smiled and smiled and responded,
“ Tribe? ”.
I explained that as Native Americans, when we meet someone we
think is also Native American, we ask this question with hopes we
might know a member of their tribe.

To this day, Sixty-three years later, Katharyn Uyetani Yamamoto
remains my best friend.





Later in August of that same year, we shared the horror of
Hiroshima, Nagasaki bombing.
Later we would attend memorials for the victims and the survivors
of Hiroshima, Nagasaki.

Even though I had three brothers and two sisters n the service at
the time, they .who we worried about, we still understood what a
terrible thing our government had done. Eventually my family would
share my feelings of doom because of what our government had
unleashed inour beautiful world upon innocent Japanese people.

Prayer


If you have love in your heart,
If you have courage in your soul,
If you have any care for the future of your children,
Raise your voice for the abolition of nuclear weapons.
I trust that human beings can understand one another.

祈り

もし、あなたに悲しみの愛があるなら　
もし、あなたに悲しみの勇気があるなら
もし、あなたに子どもの未来を案じる心があるなら
今、核廃絶に向かって何かをしよう。
人間は心の通じ合う生き物であるから。

　　　JUST AS WE SEEK A BETTER LIFE AND PEACE FOR OUR SELVES, WE MUST SHOW INTEREST AND CONCERN FOR THE WELFARE AND HUMANENESS OF OTHERS. LET US OPEN UP OUR HEARTS AND MINDS AND RESOURCES TOWARDS CONFRONTING PROBLEMS THAT PLAGUE OUR SOCIETIES.




WHAT A HARMONIOUS WORLD THIS COULD BE IF EACH INDIVIDUAL ACCEPTED JUST A SMALL RESPONSIBILITY TO HELP WIPE OUT HUNGER AND SUFFERING.

Message for world Peace

私たち自身がより良い生活と平和を求めるのと同じように、他の人々に対する思いやりや福祉への配慮を示しましょう。
心を開いて、意識と資源とを社会が直面している深刻な問題に向けましょう。
もし、私たち一人ひとりが、飢えと苦しみを払拭するためにささやかな責任を引き受け、手を差し伸べたなら、素晴らしい調和ある世界を実現できることでしょう。
