12: Nature of Testimony

I AM NO SPY!!! In year 1942, February 19th, executive order #9066 I was ordered and forced to enter concentration camp from May 10, 1942 thru September 15, 1945. Now 39 years later this United States government hasn't done anything toward total compensation for time spent behind barbwire fence. To be charged as a criminal, citizen or draft notice changed to IV C, known as enemy alien, mental hardships and sleepless nights what's going. to happen to all of us and loss of savings. When we left camp we were penniless. No aid was ever given to the family In relocating us back to state of Washington. After spending total time of 3 years and 4 months, the United States government release me to return to the West Coast telling me that they made a mistake and that I was a loyal American citizen. At no time or anytime was I ever charged for any misconduct nor any act of espionage to spy or threaten to overthrow the government of the United States. For this testimony I believe monetary or compensation losses, the government of the United States should rendered to me and I have proven myself having entered into Armed Forces (Honorable Discharge) and Postal Service for loyal, faithful servant for over 30 1/2 years. I AM NO SPY!

Yours truly,
