purpose

     When the Nisei Veterans Center By-Laws were drawn up in 1992, one of the stated purposes of the center was: "to recognize the youth and the elderly as our greatest resources and to provide for them as a necessity." This intergenerational center will reflect the values of the center as stated in its by-laws. We honor the Nisei Veterans by perpetuating the values they believed in and fought for: honor, respect, determination and service to others.
     The Nisei Veterans Memorial Center is committed to building a lasting tribute to the Nisei soldiers of World War II who displayed quiet determiniation in the face of skepticism, and steadfast courage that the Constitution would eventually be upheld as standing for all of the people all of the time.'
