Oshita continues talking about the aftermath of Pearl Harbor. Although not seeing any direct discrimination, she talks about the FBI taking many of the Japanese and her future husband George deciding to volunteer for the Army.

She also talks about George's experiences in the war, including getting seasick on the boat ride to the mainland and writing to him often.
