Preserving the untold stories
Chinese American military contributions are little known yet they've had great impact on our communities since World War II and today we are still serving our country in all branches of service. We want to be able to tell these stories continuously and share them with many generations to come.
The Chinese American G.I. Project was the result of many decades of collecting data, researching and preserving the many stories and artifacts belonging to our men and women veterans from the Civil War to present day.
We want to invite our guests to become members by joining our newsletter and to start discussions about why this topic is so important as it pertains to the story of these individuals — each individual experience is unique!
We feel that these stories need to be passed down to a younger generation so they can understand what our forefathers had to endure as well as to sacrifice for family and country.

The definitive visual history of
Chinese Americans in WWII
The book is based on years of interviews with veterans (many of whom have since passed.) Their stories, vividly illustrated with artifacts and photographs, capture wartime experiences at the home front and all theaters of war.
The cover of the book is illustrated by renowned artist, Russell G. Chong. The cover represents eight Chinese American veterans from different services each of whom who went beyond the call of duty. Their stories are included in the newsletter articles you’ll find at in our archives, ChiAmGI.Substack.com (Russell’s father, a B-17 ball turret gunner in World War II, is included on the front cover.)
