Amazing--how many Japanese heroes I have met over the years of my long association with Japan, who fought bravely against American heroes like my dad and so many others. Now we are friends. I--married to a Japanese lady, with Japanese-American kids/grandkids, an unthinkable thing not so long ago that is now a reality. There is hope to be found in what was once such terrible tragedy. Thank you for sharing. CDR, US Navy Retired/Disabled Combat Vet. Associate Professor of Japanese language.
