Harold is active in the ski community and is inducted into the Colorado Ski Hall of Fame. In 1960, he has an opportunity to go to the Olympics. In his spare time, Harold volunteers for the ski patrol.
Harold and his with Edith, have two daughters, a granddaughter, and two great-grandchildren. Harold hopes to instill family values in his children and to work hard.

Description
An account of the resource
Suehiro discusses his mindset during the war, which was readied by a letter written from his mother to not bring shame to his father. This got him to rid himself of cowardice and continue to push on during combat. He would experience this bravery during combat near the Mussolini Canal as artillery shells were landing all around him. He tells a heartbreaking story of a group of soldiers that were sent out during broad daylight by superiors, only to find them fifteen minutes later, all shot. He discusses the hardships of the soldiers and the good men that were lost, especially during the Lost Battalion. Suehiro talks more about combat and the details of the weapons that they and the German soldiers used. He also speaks about the camaraderie between soldiers, and seeing friends get wounded in action.
