It's a shame that so much of what actually happens never makes it into the history text books! Some of these events took place before I was old enough to attend school, yet I never heard or read bout these events in any history class through high school! I graduated HS in 1961. Why were we never made aware. We learned that the US and its allies were victorious, but nothing about these events.

It was no walk in the park for the Nihonjin (Japanese Nationals)!
