Our neighbor growing up worked for an Iwo vet who had been blinded there. He started an office supply company and named it after his guide dog. He used to feel our faces when he stopped by.

My dad had a friend who survived Bataan and captivity. You would say he never recovered, drinking himself to death before he was 60.

As a young Marine stationed in Japan in the '80's, I would visit Peace Park
in Hiroshima often and thinking upon the Bataan death march as I strolled
past the monuments to the dead, I would often feel that Japan got everything
they deserved.
