Description
An account of the resource
Muranaka finds himself at home in Honolulu when the Pearl Harbor attacks occurred, which he recalls hearing a loud noise and seeing a black smoke cloud in the distance. He hitchhikes back to Schofield Barracks and is given a uniform and gun and told to be ready for his assignment. After basic training, he learns that he will be sent to language school to be part of the Military Intelligence Service (MIS) and work as an interpreter. He heads to Camp Savage for language training school and then begins his stint overseas, starting with Brisbane, Australia. There, he begins his translations, looking over captured documents and interrogating prisoners of war. He then goes on a series of landings in New Guinea and the Philippines until finally ending with the occupation in Japan. Next, he quickly jumps back into his talk about the Korean War and his landing on Incheon.

Description
An account of the resource
Muranaka discusses both his father and mother's backgrounds and the influence that they had on his life even as young boy. Though living in poverty, his father was able to buy him an encyclopedia and type writer to instill in him the importance of education. Next, he discusses growing up on the big island in Hawaii and then moving at the age of 16 to Honolulu to complete his high schooling. After graduation, Muranaka found it difficult to find a good paying job as discrimination towards Japanese Americans was all around in the work force. After moving around to a few different jobs, he was drafted into the Army and began his training at the Schofield Barracks where they would soon face the attacks on Pearl Harbor.

Description
An account of the resource
Muranaka goes through his work in the Army after the end of World War Two, where he served in the Korean War. Next, he discusses the importance of Nisei soldiers during the occupation of Japan, and how big of an impact communication is in order to keep everyone on the same page. With many differences in culture, language and upbringing, Muranaka worked hard to make Japanese soldiers feel at ease while interrogating them. As many Nisei soldiers were also doing similar work, it became key to have skilled linguists in occupied Japan.
