From 1942 to 1943, Norman Y. Mineta, son of Kunisaku (Kay) and Kane Mineta and a U.S. citizen, was interned here by the United States government. Harboring no bitterness, only an abiding love of his country, he later served as an officer in the United States Army from 1953 to 1956, a member of the United States Congress from 1975 to 1995, United States Secretary of Commerce from 2000 to 2001, and United States Secretary of Transportation from 2001 to 2006. In July 2006, he urged commitment to public service, accountability, and accessibility so that what happened here would never happen again.
