That’s a very inspiring story. And very generious from Oregon State University. This is a great example on how universtiys should care about their students, even if some of they are 60 years old.

I can only image how happy those fellas were getting their degree at the age of 60-70. Wow it took them 40 years to graduate and they did it!

Nice story.

Very interesting story! I’m really interested how can they use their knowledge and skill in todays world, almost everything have changed. But hey, who cares, they deserved it and I’m glad that Oregon State University didn’t forget their students.

Great video , really looking forward to see some more materials (interviews with students and speakers).

What a turn to a sad story. With WWII and the pain the the local Japanese people went through it is the least that can be done to acknowledge them.

For anyone who is interested there is an amazing documentary called Passing Poston. It is the tale of four former internees at the Poston Relocation camp during WW II. The film is a heart wrenching story, of the search to forgive a nation that turned its back to so many of its own citizens.

Its a must see! Its showing at the Pioneer Theater on August 8th till the 14th.

I think it’s wonderful that OSU is honoring the Japanese students who lost their education opportunities during the war.
