Congressional Gold Medal Tour Sponsors

American Heroes: Japanese American World War II Nisei Soldiers and the Congressional Gold Medal was developed by the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History in collaboration with the National Veterans Network and circulated by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service. Accompanying educational materials were developed by the National Veterans Network in partnership with the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center.

Cole Chemical is the lead sponsor for the national tour. Additional support is provided by AARP, Comcast/NBC Universal, the Japanese American Veterans Association, Pritzker Military Library, the Shiratsuki Family, Southwest Airlines, and the Spirit Mountain Community Fund.

Our special thanks to Southwest Airlines for their continued commitment to honor the Japanese American WWII veterans by sponsoring their flights to both the Congressional Gold Medal Ceremony in Washington DC in November 2011 and National Opening of the Congressional Gold Medal Tour in New Orleans on January 12-13, 2013.

The National Veterans Network gratefully acknowledges the following donors:
