A letter and family.
個人的に軍隊経験から学んだ最も重要なこと
1. Serving my country for which it stands: Liberty, freedom, justice and pursuit of happiness. . .although it was a wrong war (Vietnam War).
2. Knowing what Nisei soldiers did to earn their loyalty as US citizens during WW II in the 100th Battalion, 442 RCT and MIS. I was proud to carry this tradition. My father served in WW I; my half-brother in Korean War and two other brothers in Vietnam War.
