Log for the trip home

Thank you Capt. 11:am K.C. time, just got back from the "Pearl Harbors Survivors"

program. Most of them were Navy and a couple of Marines and Air force. I was the

only one that had the C.I.B. Made me feel pretty good. I shied away from the cameras.

Something funny happened. One guy came up to me and asked, are you Italian, or

Indian ??? I thought, damn, I said I AM AN AMERICAN OF MEXICAN DESCENT. HE SAID

I AM AN AMERICAN OF IRISH DESCENT. Few more words were said but I think I got

him straight. Oh well, lots more to tell but maybe later. I told them the difference

between Pearl Harbor and THE 442nd REGIMENTAL COMBAT TEAM. HIGHEST

DECORATED REGT. OF WW 11. Rocky
