Remembering atrocities of WWII
The members of the Global Alliance for Preserving the History of World War II in Asia gathered at Sonoma State University on September 14 to commemorate the atrocities of the war and pay tribute to the injured and deceased in Rohnert Park, California.
On the same day last year, the organization installed the WWII Monument Dedication at the university and many members showed up at this year's ceremony to mark the one year anniversary. Two-thirds of the attendees are having Chinese origins and the rest are composed of people from various ethnic backgrounds.
