Description
An account of the resource
Sato continues his recollection of being an interpreter and interrogator in the Philippines. When arriving there, he would immediately notice the devastation and flatness that the war had caused. He talks about the children there seeing Japanese American soldiers but thinking they were Japanese soldiers. He would be involved with the war crimes trials, interrogating witnesses. Sato discusses various important people during the war, including a teacher from Hawaii and a spy for the American Army. After the Philippines, he would head back to Tokyo to get his discharge from the Army, but stayed around and would take a job interpreting and interrogating as a civil servant. He would also be involved with the Korean War as a civil servant, interrogating Korean soldiers that spoke Japanese. Then, due to the GI Bill, he would head back to Hawaii to begin college at the University of Hawaii. After this, he gives a background of his wife's family and how they came to meet.

Description
An account of the resource
Masatatsu "Mas" Yonemura discusses his friendship with Mine Okubo. Okubo is a Japanese American artist who illustrates her experience in camp and is the author of "Citizen 133660".
Post-war, Yonemura works in the General Consul Office from 1953 to 1996. His duties consist of representing Japanese Nationals, acting liaison for Japanese visiting the United States, and labor negotiations of Japanese companies. Yonemura recollects some case he works on such as representing a Japanese seaman who is accused of homicide and labor negotiations for Japan Airline.
During Yonemura's time during the war and occupation, he serve with honorable men and recalls his fellow servicemen. When asked if Yonemura shares his wartime experience with his family, he does not share. However, his granddaughter have started to ask questions about his service.
When Yonemura is in Japan during occupation, he corresponds with Mother. He expresses his interest to visit relatives but his Mother says it is not a good idea. His Mother feels they would not understand why Yonemura is visiting in United States uniform. Instead, Yonemura goes sight seeing in Ito and Shiso, Japan. Also during occupation, Yonemura remembers a funny story about visits from Mr. Tanaka at Allied Translator and Interpreter Section (ATIS),
Yonemura describes how there are two different language programs during occupation. One by the Military Intelligence Service (MIS) and one by the Navy. The Navy contracted with the schools in Colorado and the teachers are on the payroll of the school. These individuals are not civil service. Therefore, the Navy can hire Issei as instructor. The Army is all civil service limited to citizenship. As a result, the Navy has a larger pool to select from.
