Dad was stationed in Japan with the Army 1950-61. I grew up in Sagamihara and Yokohama. We came home via MSTS and stoped for a day in Honolulu. It was a before the Memorial was creaed.
On our most recent visit, we boated out to the Arizona with a dozen Japanese girls. I asked why they were on the tour and was told they wanted to see what their fathers and grandfathers had done. In Japan, WW II is known as the Great Pacific War, but public schools skimp on telling the story.
The Japanese are notorious for their omission of what they did during WW2.
