Another great one gone

The New York Times has an obituary by Richard Goldstein for George Sakato, who was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor (photo) in 2000:

Sakato was the last survivor of the seven living Japanese-American veterans to whom tribute was finally paid more than a half a century after they fought gallantly for a nation that feared and loathed their people.

Rico says it was well-deserved, if a bit late; RIP, valiant soldier...
