In the exhibit\, their service is recounted against the backdrop of fear and racial tension that inspired thousands to volunteer from Hawaii and drove the U.S. government to remove Japanese Americans and people of Japanese ancestry on the West Coast to ten Wartime Relocation Authority (WRA) Incarceration Camps during the war. \nThrough 1\,800 square feet of immersive storytelling\, the exhibition showcases firsthand accounts\, rare artifacts\, and evocative images that reveal how the Nisei Soldiers’ service became a defining testament to courage\, sacrifice\, and belonging. Visitors will encounter the remarkable stories of the Nisei Soldiers who served in the European Theater as part of the 100th Infantry Battalion\, 442nd Regimental Combat Team—one of the most highly decorated units in military history—and in the Pacific Theater as linguists in the U.S. Army’s Military Intelligence Service \nLaunching this February 2026 at the MIS Historic Learning Center at the Presidio in San Francisco\, this national five-year tour will travel to 11 venues across the United States.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \nTraveling Tour Details\n“I Am An American” will begin its five-year tour of 11 venues around the nation in February 2026\, premiered at the MIS Historic Learning Center at Presidio in San Francisco\, CA from February 23 and extends until September 13\, 2026.
