Today was the anniversary of the onset of the Great East Asian War, which has been considered to be a war desired by Japan. With recent researches based on historical records in the U.S., however, the truth of the war has been gradually disclosed. Anyway, I visited Pearl Harbor last spring and saw various facilities related to the war.
On the day of the attack, 10 young soldiers were assigned to the exit of the harbor to ram the military vessels which would come out of the harbor, and one of those was captured, leaving the others killed. Their memorial service was held today near my office and I joined it. This small fishery village was their training site. We should remember those who sacrificed their lives for Japan.
