This is a great picture! I have found several veterans on here that were stationed in Japan prior to serving in Korea. I can only imagine how different the two countries were from each other, yet so very different from home.

In fact, he states that, “so far as the military security of other areas in the Pacific is concerned, it must be clear that no person can guarantee these areas against military attack.”
