Final thoughts

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.
