Description
Sato discusses more about his childhood in Hawaii, playing football and track for Baldwin High School. He also talks about impactful people throughout his high school days. Next, he talks about the attacks on Pearl Harbor and how they had to black out their windows so enemy submarines couldn't see any lights. He would see his neighbor being picked up by the FBI and never came back. After the attacks, they would be faced with restrictions and forced to carry gas masks with them everywhere they went. He discusses the Japanese influences that could be seen within his childhood home at the time, including an obutsudan and attending Japanese language school. He also talks about seeing people volunteering for the Army, including teachers and his cousin.
