An Army band would play every time we sailed in or out of Yokohama in the 1950s. I wonder where all those MSTS ships are today ?

If you know the name of the MST, its history can be found.

I remember the “E.D. Patrick” casting off from the Yokohama pier in 1957. I thought all the ticker tape would hold it fast. IIRC, military families of a certain size got to go back by ship.

Found the E.D. Patrick on line. Quite a story.

Anyway, I hope Congress doesn’t restrict military band performances. Our society needs the reminder of what the military does for us.
