WikiPuffery

Not sure how much there is. In other articles on WP he is cited as having been injured in the line of duty three times; if true, he would be a highly decorated war hero. That said, the section on the Japanese-American memorial is huge and should be split off. -moritheil^Talk 15:15, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Found citations that verify he is in fact a Purple Heart recipient and highly decorated. Also verified his legal career and book writing. Since the most prominent claims are sourced (military career, legal career) I will remove the WikiPuffery tag. -moritheil^Talk 15:40, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Split Japanese-American Memorial

This section is huge and little of it has to do with Mr. Okamoto directly. It probably should be its own article. -moritheil^Talk 15:18, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
