An exhibit featuring the samurai-style sword of Lt. Col. Richard Sakakida, a Japanese American U.S. Army Counter Intelligence Corps agent who served in the U.S. Army during World War II was unveiled by Command Historian Cameron Binkley and Defense Language Institute Commandant Col. Gary Hausman at the Presidio of Monterey’s Aiso Library, Jan. 28.
Accompanying Sakakida’s sword are intercepted documents and confiscated items including a Japanese rifle, bayonet and helmet. These items represent the work translators would have performed as part of their regular duties and the tangible results their efforts could produce.
