The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

The Day After Pearl Harbor, San Francisco-- Part 2

There are some movie pictures shown in the photo.  One is for "Blood Spray at Fuji River" from 1939.  There is also one with a woman from a 1940 romantic novel.

It is not known whether Dr. Uyeyama or his family were interned.  But they did find out he was a 1934 graduate and a clinical member at University California-San Francisco.  He left the U.S. Army as a Lt.Col. in 1949.

Census records show that he and his whole family were born in the United States.

Other military records show a USAF Lt.Col. Terry Uyeyama, born in San Francisco in 1937.  He was interned by the North Vietnamese 1968-1973 and recipient of the Distinguished Flying Cross, legion of Merit, Silver Star and POW Medal.

The impact of war at home.
