The Truly Reluctant Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto - Part I

The Truly Reluctant Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto – Part I

Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto shortly before his death in 1943.

“I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve”

Poppycock.

Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto never said that.

That “quote” was all Hollyweird, made famous by the 1970 film, “Tora! Tora! Tora!”

I Am Abhorred

Several yeats ago, a certain “group” of people – comprised of citizens and non-citizens – screamed bloody murder when a PRIVATELY owned business declined selling their pastry to a gay couple.

The Passing of Dad

Dad was born nearly a century ago.

It’s amazing when you think of it that way.

February 25, 1919 in Seattle, WA to be exact.  Over 99 years ago.

The fifth of seven siblings born to Hisakichi and Kono Kanemoto, both legal immigrants from Hiroshima.

…but Dad passed away quietly on Good Friday, March 30, 2018 in Los Angeles, CA – at the same facility where his older sister, my Aunt Shizue, passed…

The Magic of Churchill’s Speeches I just watched "Churchill". While a fine theatrical piece, it shows the hideous mindset of Hollywood, using free license in a sad attempt to re-write history.
