One of Dad's pictures of his classmates at the Defense Language Institute at the Presidio in late 1947. One is a captain; he may not be a Nisei like the other enlisted men. I am positive this was taken as they prepared to ship out to Occupied Japan. They were all part of the G-2's Military Intelligence Service.

While Dad passed away at 99 years of age a couple of years ago, I came across this very old and brittle envelope. In it were these portraits of him in his Hiroshima high school uniform, his pristine "Soldier's Pass" from the Presidio of Monterey and a new unseen photo of his youngest brother who was KIA as a Japanese soldier on Leyte in 1944. He is crouching behind the rangefinder field glasses.
