Description
Hirano continues his recollection of his time in Japan, starting with his arrival in Hiroshima. There, he would see the devastation after the atomic bomb and be assigned to the Counter Intelligence Cops (CIC). After leaving that, he would stay in Japan and work a few other jobs for the Army, before being discharged back in the United States. It was there that he began leasing hotels in Stockton and would eventually lease 4 hotels and own 3. Next, he discusses his family background which now includes grandchildren. Finally, he speaks about other things he did while working for the Army and his thoughts on writing the treaty.
