Representative Becky Edwards: I'm proud to be a co-sponsor on HCR 5, which designates February 18, 2012, as Utah's Congressional Gold Medal Day for the Veterans of the 100th Infantry Battalion, the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, and the Nisei Military Intelligence Service. These 13,000 individuals of Japanese descent entered military service after being released from the concentration caps where they had been incarcerated following Pearl Harbor. It was a distinct honor to host some of the members of the 442nd today on the House floor in honor of passage of the resolution.
