Internment Remembrance Resolution Passes Oregon Senate

A resolution co-sponsored by area State Senators Chuck Thomsen and Ted Ferrioli to recognize Sunday as Japanese American Internment Remembrance Day.  February 19 will be the 75th anniversary of President Franklin D. Roosevelt signing the executive order that led to Japanese Americans being placed in internment camps in World War II.  Thomsen said the resolution held special significance to him as a Hood River County resident, with the County’s large number of citizens of Japanese heritage.  The resolution passed the Senate unanimously.
