Mission

The Japanese American Veterans Association (JAVA) is a nationwide war veterans organization. We are dedicated to representing the interests and preserving the military lineage of all American veterans, reservists, and active-duty personnel including Asian American and Pacific Islander veterans. We work to honor and preserve the memory of those who valiantly served in the 100th Infantry Battalion, 442nd Regimental Combat Team, and Military Intelligence Service while also fostering patriotism and inclusion today. JAVA builds and strengthens camaraderie among members through luncheons, events, and a newsletter. We also conduct educational programs, give speeches, and organize discussion panels to emphasize the contributions of Japanese American War Veterans. Finally, we provide scholarships to descendants, dependents and members of 100th Infantry Battalion/442nd Regimental Combat Team, Military Intelligence Service, and JAVA members.

Central to JAVA's mission is the sponsorship of historical and educational programs that document the contributions of Japanese American Veterans, especially the Nisei in WWII. JAVA participated in the following programs from July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024: Day of Affirmation (D0A) Wreath Ceremony at the National WWII Memorial (Floral Wreath, NPS Permit) with a cost of $2095.28. JAVA hosted a special event luncheon to celebrate the Day of Affirmation at the Army Navy club July 15 in 2025, but budget from 2024 was used prior to the new financial year since there was no DoA luncheon for 2024. JAVA was a participant in the 19th Annual Nisei Soldiers Memorial Service at the National Cemetery of the Pacific at Punchbowl on Sunday, September 2024. Approximately 150 people attended the program and JAVA's wreath expense was $227.35. For JAVA's Veterans Day program, Tak Furumoto, USA, was our keynote speaker at the annual program held at the National Japanese American Memorial to Patriotism in WWII in Washington, DC.
