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.

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
