FROM THE FOREWORD: John Tsukano, author (*Bridge of Love*), publisher, traveler and researcher dedicated to telling the story of the 100th, takes us on a tour de force of the main events leading to Pearl Harbor, the subsequent formation of the l00th and the complicated path of the unit up to its arrival in McCoy. In the next section, author Thelma Chang explores the Nisei soldier's background in answer to the question, "Who Are We?" Her book, *I Can Never Forget: Men of the l00th/442nd,* went to book stores just prior to the 50th anniversary of Pearl Harbor and has since rekindled a lively interest in the Nisei experience of WWII. Then Dr. Kenneth Otagaki and Sakae Takahashi explore the 100th's early days at McCoy and Shelby. Kenneth even remembers that beer at the McCoy PX was selling for 15 cents a bottle. And Sakae tells of the change at Shelby as the l00th went from unit training to field exercises involving divisions and armies in the vast training areas of Louisiana. The l00th was beginning to come to an understanding of itself. The guts of this publication, the story of the 100th in combat, is written by Shurei Hirozawa who was recruited for the job by Sakae. Shurei was a reporter for the Honolulu Star-Bulletin for many years and, at the time of his recent retirement from the business world, was an economist at the First Hawaiian Bank.
