Remove the Japaneese monument to their World War II dead from Attu island, Alaska.

Created by N.H. on December 18, 2012

The Battle of Attu, which took place from 11–30 May 1943, was fought entirely between forces of the United States and the Empire of Japan on Attu Island off the coast of Alaska. The action, which was part of the Aleutian Islands Campaign during the Pacific War, was the only land battle of World War II fought on territory that was part of the incorporated territory of the U.S. It is also the only land battle in which Japanese and American forces fought in Arctic conditions.
The only monument on that island should be to the U.S. Service members that fought there to ensure that the United States did not fall to a foreign aggressor.
