Frank Morimoto oral history interview, part 3 of 5, February 6, 2000

Morimoto describes the time that he tripped on a booby trap and was injured, and his comrades' experiences gambling in Monte Carlo. He also talks about going to the hospital due to his trench foot condition which caused him to get reclassified as 'non-combat'. Later, Morimoto was reassigned to an ordinance battalion before getting discharged and being sent to Camp Lucky Strike for discharged soldiers near Paris. Morimoto then talks about his journey back to the United States and being sent to Fort Lewis in Washington, before leaving the service to spend time with his wife and child in Oregon. Lastly, he discusses his friendships within his unit during World War Two, talks about his familial connection to the bombing in Hiroshima, and earning a Bronze Star as part of his combat infantry.
