SAN JOSE — A free screening of “Valor with Honor,” a documentary by Burt Takeuchi, will be held on Sunday, Feb. 19, at 2 p.m. at Japanese American Museum of San Jose, 535 N. 5th St. (near Jackson) in San Jose Japantown.
The independent feature film consists of interviews with Nisei who served with the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, some of whom have since passed away. Through these oral histories, these heroic veterans take the viewer through the 1944 Italian Campaign, the rescue of the Lost Battalion, the breaking of the Italian Gothic Line, and the liberation of Holocaust victims in Dachau, Germany in 1945.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A session with the filmmaker. DVDs will be sold and autographed.

Due to the large expected crowds for this free showing the venue has been moved to the Wesley Methodist Church across the screen from the SJ JA Museum. Please use street parking to reserve parking lot spaces for seniors and handicapped persons. Starting time is 2pm. Film running time is 85 min with a 30 min Q&A with the filmmaker.
