Author, journalist and high school teacher, Gregg Jones has written an extremely well documented and entertaining book about the forgotten Japanese American World War II war hero, Ben Kuroki. In our conversation, Gregg tells us how this Nebraska farm boy became the only Japanese-American to fly in combat missions over Japan. Following the war, he continued his mission to fight against racism and discrimination as a publisher and speaker. At a time when patriotism is sometimes hard to define, Ben reminds us what it means to be an American.
