Ken was drafted into the U.S. Army in June 1945 from Kahului, Maui, Hawaii. After completing basic training in Texas, he attended the Military Intelligence Service Language School (MISLS) at Fort Snelling, Minnesota, graduating in June 1946 as part of the final class at that location. Ken later served as president of the MIS Northwest Association and earned lifelong membership. Throughout his years of service, he kept newsletters and documents related to the organization's operations. His dedication to educating the public about Japanese American military service is a central theme of the collection. Notable efforts include his campaign to change the MIS logo from a gopher wearing a Native American headdress to a shield following criticism from the American Indian Movement. He also helped organize the display of the 120,000 Tassel Tapestry, a quilt created by middle school students in Indiana to illustrate Japanese American experience during World War II, at the 2003 Seattle Cherry Blossom Festival. After the MIS Northwest Association disbanded in 2004, Ken continued to collect newsletters from the still-active Military Intelligence Service Veterans Club of Hawaii which are also included in the collection.","extent":"2 advertisements, 23 clippings, 51 correspondences, 4 ephemera, 41 miscellaneous documents, 5 pamphlets, 5 physical objects, 48 periodicals, 47 photographs, 1 postcard, 23 programs,","links_children":"ddr-densho-486","language":[""],"contributor":"Densho","public":"1","rights":"cc","status":"completed","search_hidden":"","download_large":"ddr-densho-486-67-mezzanine-3c7dc18a6f-a.jpg"},{"id":"962","model":"narrator","index":"18 1418/{'value': 2008, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/narrators/962/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/narrator/962/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/narrators/ddr-densho-1020-11_narr.jpg","thumb":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/narrators/ddr-densho-1020-11_narr.jpg","interviews":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/narrator/962/interviews/"},"display_name":"William \"Bill\" Kaneko","bio":"Born in Honolulu, Hawaii.
