4:02Now PlayingEighty years after the end of World War II, postcards written to Japanese soldiers by their families were discovered in an Oregon museum.
The Obon Society, a nonprofit humanitarian organization, has now taken on the task of returning each letter to the sender’s descendants.
The goal is to provide the families a sense of closure and help show that healing in some form is possible after war ends, Obon Society President Rex Ziak says.
