DESCRIPTION:With a population that included a significant percentage of per
 sons of Japanese ancestry\, the state of Hawaii did not experience the mas
 s incarcerations that Japanese Americans on the West Coast did following t
 he bombing of Pearl Harbor. Only a small percentage of the islands&amp;rsquo\;
  Japanese Americans were sent to prison camps\, and large numbers of the s
 tate&amp;rsquo\;s Nisei volunteered for and served with distinction in the US 
 Army.\n\nThe 2017 documentary film&amp;nbsp\;&lt;em&gt;Proof of Loyalty&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp\;t
 ells the compelling story of one of those soldiers\, Kazuo Yamane. Educate
 d as a child in Hawaii and eventually graduating from Japan&amp;rsquo\;s prest
 igious Waseda University\, Yamane was drafted into the US Army just before
  the Pearl Harbor attack. With his strong Japanese language skills\, he wa
 s plucked from the infantry ranks to serve first at the Pentagon\, then at
  a secret facility in northern Maryland\, and finally under Eisenhower in 
 Europe. Most importantly\, he would identify a secret document that would 
 significantly help America&amp;rsquo\;s war in the Pacific.\n\nA Q&amp;amp\;A with
  Lucy Ostrander\, one of the two filmmakers behind the film\, will follow 
 the screening. Presented with Go For Broke National Education Center (GFBN
 EC). Free for JANM and GFBNEC members and included with admission to&amp;nbsp\
