Homer Yasui (1925?-). Homer was diagnosed with a congenital heart condition in his junior year of high school, and had to quit football. He continued to play baseball and tennis, and lettered in both sports. He was a high school senior in May 1942, when their family received their evacuation orders. Homer spent two months at the Tule Lake internment camp with his mother and sister, Yuka. In the summer of 1942, the National Student Relocation Council, "a coalition of concerned individuals and service organizations," formed to help Japanese-American students continue their education. To be accepted, the student had to meet requirements including clearances from both the FBI and Army Intelligence, proof of financial resources, and permission from the director of the internment camp. Through the program, Homer joined his siblings, Robert and Michi, in Denver, in September 1942. The following winter, he arranged to become Yuka’s legal guardian, and was able to get her to Denver and into a public high school.

Homer attended the University of Denver, graduated in three years, and applied to ten medical schools. The only school that accepted him was Hahnemann Medical College in Philadelphia, and he graduated in 1949. In 1954, he joined the Navy Medical Corps as a surgeon, and served with the Allied occupation forces in Japan for two years. When he retired from his surgical practice in 1987, he was one of the higher ranking officers at the Portland Naval Reserves base. Homer remained active in the Japanese American Citizens League and in the campaign for the Redress Bill in Congress. He chaired the national committee in support of overturning the charges against his brother, Min.
