Veterans' Day

My Grandpa - Arthur Komori - lived on Kauai for most of his years - I visited him many times as a kid but really only found out about his legendary exploits when I was much older. He was a bronze star veteran  and was present at the Japanese surrender on the Battleship Missouri pictured above. Inducted into the Military Intelligence Hall of Fame - this man lived an amazing life.

He once commented...
"How would one fare as an agent , if caught as a spy? It was understood the Army would not take responsibility or admit to my role or status and I would die rather than reveal my role. Ala Nathan Hale. To give my all for my country, for my parents, for Hawaiian people was my objective."
