Not on a veteran but...

Our local paper just ran a story not on a veteran but on a Japanese woman who was forced to leave her high school senior year, close to graduation day, to go to an internment camp in Arkansas (or Alabama). Although she graduated while in the internment camp it wasn't of course the same thing as walking on stage at your high school. So Redondo Beach Union High school this year is honoring the woman and she is going to walk across the stage during the graduation and receive her diploma. It was an awesome story to read and its great how all the high school graduates are embracing the story.
