Standing on Shoulders of Giants

LOS ANGELES - The Japanese word for heroism is gamon. "It means to endure," Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Fred Fujioka said recently. Gamon has personal meaning to Fujioka because of the experience of his Japanese-American relatives. Some were interned following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, while others fought as U.S. soldiers during World War II.
