When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, our west coast became a potential combat zone.

Living in that zone were more than 100,000 persons of Japanese ancestry, two thirds of them American citizens, one third aliens.

We knew that some among them were potentially dangerous.

No one knew what would happen among this concentrated population.

If Japanese forces should try to invade our shores.

Military authorities therefore determined that all of them, citizens and aliens alike, would have to move.

This picture tells how the mass migration was accomplished.

[Asian style music] [Asian style music] Yesterday, December 7th, 1941.

A date which will live in infamy.

A state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese Empire.

[applause] Neither the Army nor the War Relocation Authority relished the idea of taking men, women and children from their homes, their shops and their farms.

Immediately, the army began mapping evacuation areas and for a time encouraged the Japanese to leave voluntarily.

The trouble for the... [announcer voice fades out] Truckload of soldiers came with their bayonets and forced us to move.

And so we had to, of course, get on the truck and then go to Marysville.

Notices were posted.

All persons of Japanese descent where required to register.

They gathered in their own churches and schools, and the Japanese themselves cheerfully handled the enormous paperwork involving migration... ♪ Sometimes I wonder why I spend each lonely night dreaming of a song... That melody haunts my memory ♪♪ and I am once again with you ♪♪ when our love was new ♪♪ and each kiss, ♪♪ an inspiration.

♪♪ Oh, but ♪♪ That was long ago.

♪♪ And now my consolation ♪♪ is in the stardust of a song.

♪♪ Before the good Lord, ♪♪ where stars are bright, ♪♪ You are in my arms.

That nightengale... ♪♪ Our rights were being violated.

I just couldn't understand why they were doing that to us.

It's so dark and depressing.

And it was scary.

I guess not scary, it was more apprehension, I guess, and worrying about the unknown.

Naturally, the newcomers looked about with some curiosity.

They were in a new area on land that was raw, untamed, but full of opportunity.

Here they would build schools, educate their children, reclaim...

While we were leaving, we noticed that our house was burning.

Someone had set the house on fire so that they'd be sure we wouldn't come back I guess.

As the president determined to take all necessary steps, including the use of armed forces to assist any member of our protocol state of the Southeast Asia Collective Treaty when requesting assistance in defense of freedom.

This is what the war in Vietnam is all about.

[indistinct] From the old to the very young.

The Marines have burned this old couple's cottage because fire was coming from here.

Now you walk into the village and you see no young people... ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ [crying, pleading] The day's operation burned down 150 houses, wounded three women, killed one baby, wounded one marine and netted these four prisoners.

I take the threat very seriously.

I take the fact that he develops weapons of mass destruction very seriously.

[gunfire] [gunfire] [gunfire] [gunfire] [gunfire] [idling vehicles] ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ When are you going to apologize for the million Iraqis are dead because you lied.

You lied about weapons of mass destruction.

You lied about connections to 9/11.

You lied about Iraq being a threat.

You sent me to Iraq.

You sent me to Iraq in 2003.

My friends are dead.

Joshua Castille.

You kill people!

You lie!

I think Islam hates us.

There's something.

There's something there that there's a tremendous hatred.

We are protecting ourselves without violating the principles of Christian decency.

And we will change this fundamental decency no matter what our enemies do.

But of course, we hope most earnestly that our example will influence the axis powers in their treatment of Americans who fall into their hands.
