Final thoughts
Heroes Remember
Transcript
Personally my younger brother,
he was just the opposite to me.
He was so mad and so discontent.
He couldn't see a Chinaman or
a Japanese without,
he'd go, just go off his rocker.
I was a little different.
I've always been the kind of a man that,
the kind of a fellow that...
sure they treated us bad, we're back,
I'll never forgive what they did but,
you know, after all it's war and
there was certainly....
It was an experience that I, I don't know
whether I should say so or not
but we, it was, made a
better man of me, I think,
because it taught me that there
are things in this world that
you have to accept in some form or
other and you can't just grieve about
it or ruin your life over
something that happened and
nothing you could do about it.
