Description
This identification card certifies that Misao Okada is a "military dependent" at Fort Lewis in Washington. The card describes her physically and has her signature. Her husband, Charles Okada was stationed at Fort Lewis, which is probably why she was able to receive an identification card as a dependent. Item from Misao Okada’s album.
Misao Okada’s scrapbook contains photographs, ephemera, notes, and correspondence documenting her time at Amache and a visit and reunion over 50 years later. The scrapbook also includes materials relating to reparations and events observing Japanese American incarceration.
