軍隊生活で最も記憶に残っている出来事

Being J-A, it was imperative we have a Caucasian GI with us constantly or we would be mistaken for the enemy soldier. Also had to be careful of the 'Negritos' pygmies who lived in the deep grass - well known as Head Hunters of Japanese soldiers. There seemed to always be a threat to Nisei soldiers.

軍隊にいる間、最も懐かしかったもの

My wife and family - decent food - always rush and wait.

個人的に軍隊経験から学んだ最も重要なこと

This was necessary to reflect my loyalty to my great nation by protecting her against any and all enemies. Now we can no longer be judged by anyone as to what country our loyalty is with. God Bless America.

その他の情報

It was always the character of our parent(s) we always drew upon when the going became rough and tough. The key was to collect the thoughts and difficulties of (our) forefathers and rid ourselves of negative experiences and strive forward.
