TUSTIN, Calif. (KABC) -- Miko Kaihara and her husband George never got a chance to graduate from Tustin Union High School -- their names are absent from the 1943 graduating class list.

Miko and George, then teenagers, were among nearly 120,000 Japanese-Americans on the West Coast forced from their homes. Their families spent three years confined to the Poston internment camp in Arizona, where school was taught by fellow internees.
