On the Saturday, May 26, 2018 Memorial Day weekend broadcast of Marvels of China: Pathways to the Pacific Rim I will be welcoming Commander Kenneth Wong of the American Legion Lt. B.R. Kimlau Chinese Memorial Post 1291 in New York City’s Chinatown.
Americans annually pause on the final weekend of May to pay respects and remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice in times of war, always with the hope that it will be the last time.
We’ll hear from Commander Wong about the heroism of Lt. B.R. Kimlau, a Chinese American who perished during World War II, and who was memorialized by the establishment of the American Legion post that bears his name.
We’ll also hear about the Kimlau Chinese Memorial Post 1291’s other activities for all who seek their help. All this started in the mid-1940’s by three Chinese Americans in New York City -two of whom were postal workers and another who ran a Chinatown enterprise- envisioning the formation of the formation of a Chinese American Legion to serve American veterans of Chinese descent. You can learn more by going to its official web site at http://www.ltkimlau.com.
I’m also welcoming back from Hawaii Retired Brigadier Frances Iwalani Mossman. This month marked the one-year anniversary of the historic “Sister City” ties established between Hangzhou, China and Greenwich, Connecticut USA -where this show broadcasts from. We’ll be hearing more from General Mossman -and stay tuned for an important announcement and invitation from us in the weeks ahead.
