軍隊生活で最も記憶に残っている出来事

To take German prisoners of young age as myself and some younger. Why do we as human beings have enemies we did not make and why do we try killing each other for no good reason of our own? To see these young kids just as they see us and to have to snuff their life away when we all should have so much to live for, is very sad.

軍隊にいる間、最も懐かしかったもの

My dad who was whisked away on Dec. 8,1941 with no chance of ever saying goodbye properly.

個人的に軍隊経験から学んだ最も重要なこと

That war is Hell to everybody. Learn to appreciate love between the family and show your love when you are together.

その他の情報

The hate that was brought about against the No-No boys. I was a borderline person, since the Gov't was so cruel to my Dad, especially, and to my family. They (No-No Boys) did what they believed in and you can't fault them.
