You are correct - Local farmers on Guam discover Sgt. Shoichi Yokoi who was unaware that World War II had ended. Lots of locals said there were Japanese in the hills there and lived in caves.... Clothes stolen, food stolen.

I was attached to VQ-3 during that time(EC-130Qs)

LOL! I was attached to my mom and dad in ‘47 as a 3 month old. I think we stayed there until ‘50. My dad (Navy supply corps) helped re-establish the Bank of Guam. My mom used to tell me that I wouldn’t to go to sleep until I saw the geckos crawling on the screen.
