“be careful.” It wasn’t until I stopped to read a sign that a weight fell in my stomach. The Catalina Federal Honor Camp was built during 1939 and expanded in the 1940s. During WWII it was used to house Japanese-Americans internees under President Roosevelt’s
Executive Order 9066, and detain conscientious-objectors and draft resisters. <o:p>

from – something no baby chooses. It reminds me not only of the sacrifice of our soldiers who fought overseas to protect our freedom, but of the brave Americans who fought here at home so that we can exercise our freedom to be who we are. I guess the word
“Honor” in the camp’s name reflects the prisoners and not the law.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
