The American Legion is on the case

The American Legion’s Burn Pit blog has much more on the NEH-funded conference on the Pacific War at the East-West Center of University of Hawaii. The post is by the Legion’s Mark Seavey; please check it out.
I don’t think we’ve heard the last of this matter.
CORRECTION: Although I understand that the East-West Center was originally operated by the University of Hawaii under an agreement with the State Department, it is apparently an independent institution that receives substantial funding from the United States government. See the East-West Center Web site here for more information.
