This video is from captured Japanese footage. My Grandfather was a POW and is shown in it. My Grandmother did not know he was alive until she and her Sister saw this footage at a movie house as part of a news reel. He is the last image shown, with the Chiefs hat on. He did not survive captivity and I am very proud to bear his name.

@1mparcher Don't they have any respect? I'm not saying your racist, but I wouldn't blame you if you're sitting in a trench and taking heavy machine gun fire from Japanese or Germans, who are trying to kill you and don't care if they actually do! Well, what I'm trying to say is that I appreciate your service, and I'm only 16. So, thank you very much, God bless you.

This spring in an Arizona high school, I am Vietnam Infantry War Veteran and was kicked out of a high school because I talked negatively about the late Emperor of Japan Hirohito. I did not single him out the two girls did. I was talking about Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito. The two girls shouted me down and accused of being racist against all Asians. They determined this without even really talking to me. I was substitute teaching. They filed a complaint and the assistant principal booted me.
