Dear Mr. and Mrs. Iseri,

We have read of the death of your son, Private First Class Mistuo Mike Iseri, who was serving in the armed forces of the United States. We appreciate the spirit which lead [led] him to serve his country, and the sacrifice which he made, and you are making, in the hope of a better world to come.

The group which has asked me to write to you has been working for the right of the Japanese Americans and the loyal aliens to return to their homes on the west coast. That the restrictions have finally been lifted is due to the splendid record and the great sacrifices of the men of the Japanese American Combat Team.

Your son has given his life for his country, and you have given a son, and loved one. We thank you, and we hope that we may all help build a country, and a world, worthy of such sacrifices.

Yours very sincerely,

Afton Dill Nance
For the Committee
