WASHINGTON—A New Hampshire diversity group is honoring a Hawaii senator and Japanese American veterans of World War II.
The New Hampshire Cultural Diversity Awareness Council traveled to Washington on Tuesday to honor Senator Daniel Inouye and the Japanese American Veterans Association. The council presented its Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. "Keeping the Dream Alive" award at a Capitol Hill reception.
Senators Judd Gregg and John Sununu helped present the award to their colleague, a decorated World War II veteran. Gregg said Inouye and the Japanese-American veterans risked so much to defend America abroad, while facing adversity and racism at home.
Sununu said Inouye is committed to making this country a better place for the people of Hawaii and all Americans.
