The lives of George Nakamura and Yukio Kawamoto have followed amazingly parallel paths.
They were born two weeks apart in California in 1919, both joined the U.S. Army early in 1942 during World War II, and both were assigned to military intelligence and served in the South Pacific.
After the war, both spent their careers in public service, both had four children, and both later retired to the Greenspring community in Springfield, Virginia.
