The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

Deaths: Decorated Japanese-American-- Part 3

Mr. Yatsushiro was assigned to an anti-tank infantry company that used lightweight aircraft to secure ground for the Allies. But, the motorless gliders were unpredictable and prone to crashes. /// After the war, he returned to Hawaii where he fell in love with his wife, Anne. It was love at first sight. They were married for 65 years until Mr. Yatsushiro died December 27, 2012, at age 91. //// The GI Bill enabled him to study electrical engineering at Trine University in Indiana. He later worked at Dormeyer Industries and Controls in Chicago where he received nine patents. /// A real American Hero. --GreGen
