A new digital exhibition that celebrates the military service of second-generation Japanese-American, or Nisei, soldiers during World War II launched Thursday. A joint project of the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center, the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, and the National Veterans Network, "The Nisei Soldier: Congressional Gold Medal" digital exhibition is an online, object-based educational exhibition that features the life stories of twelve Nisei soldiers who served while their families were incarcerated in concentration camps.

Kristi Yamaguchi posted on her Facebook that her grandfather George A. Doi, a WWII soldier, is honored as part of an exhibit at the Smithsonian.
This link briefly tells the story of her grandfather's time in the army and the family's experience of WWII: http://cgm.smithsonianapa.org/stories/george-doi.html.
There's lots of family pictures included. I think there's quite a resemblance between Kristi and her grandmother, Kathleen.
