Slept in pup tents or in the open w/ sleeping bag. Used steel helmet to bathe or jump in streams if available. Meals? No complaints - we survived. We entertained ourselves by playing cards, talking stories in a group, writing letters home.

Family

個人的に軍隊経験から学んだ最も重要なこと

Compassion for our stateside buddies. We, from Hawaii, were lucky. Seeing segregation in the South. Discrimination against minorities changed my outlook for life. Respect of Rights of others.

その他の情報

I regret that I did not know about the problems my stateside buddies and families had to go through. These things should be taught at schools (mandatory), so that future generations will be more understanding.
