<p>[QUOTE="Nolan Workman, post: 3069172, member: 87452"]Being an only child, I cared for my father in his last twelve years, so I heard hundreds of stories from this time and to have heard Mr. Fuchida speak was an interesting add to the mix, I do not hold the Japanese people responsible for what their leaders did, but had difficulty with with Mr. Fuchida's fame based on his involvement in starting a war that killed millions, he got an audience with the Emperor after the attack, like a meet with God, but four years later, when the hangman beckoned, couldn't remember his name. When you are at the top of the food chain, you own what happens. Mr. Fuchida also led attacks on Australia and British Ceylon. I had a friend whose family spent the war in Manzanar near Bishop, Ca., one of the harshest places in America, so I heard that side of the story too. I shared the above account because this is where my father's old coin lead my memory train; I'll bet some of the other coins above have wonderful and happy connections.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
