Young Japanese Alien Volunteers for Army

From Gila News-Courier December 2, 1944

Tokyo-born Henry Ebihara, 24, became the first to jump at the new War Department ruling permitting alien Japanese to enlist in the U. S. Army, this week's Time magazine reports.

Ebihara, whose younger brothers and sisters are all citizens, was brought to the U. S. at the age of two. A Cleveland war plant worker, he had asked both Franklin Roosevelt and War Secretary Stimson for a chance to fight.
