軍隊生活で最も記憶に残っている出来事

Ordered to go to Aid Station in Bruyeres. Told to ride particular truck and when the truck stopped we were in Belgium. The Lt. in charge said you are now attached to the 29th Infantry Co. Our duty was to guard property left by the Germans.

Rice, miso soup, tsukemono, mother's cooking.

個人的に軍隊経験から学んだ最も重要なこと

I feel that by traveling around the world, I realize how fortunate we are. The prejudice, opportunity is nothing compared to here in California now. To my family younger people do the best you can go for it. We have proved we're not 2nd class citizens.

その他の情報

While serving with the 29th in Belgium, the East entrance to Rochfort was tank German 88 that was pinning down a company of men. The Co. Lt. and a Major of the tank Co. decided that the solution was to send a Bazooka man to cripple the tank, which I volunteered to do. And I did knock off the tracks to make possible the pinned down soldiers to escape. That was my good deed for my fellow soldiers whom I knew nothing about.
