During his time in Rome, Nakamura visited the Vatican and also did some sightseeing. He also visited Rome after the war, and discusses the differences during and after the war, as well as recalling his worst experiences and his best experiences during the war. After the end of World War Two, Nakamura moved back to Hawaii where he got married, had children, and worked as a warehouse clerk.
