Isami Mike Tsuji oral history interview, part 4 of 5, September 6, 2003

While recovering from his wound, Tsuji would be given a 45 day furlough, in which he originally wanted to go back home to Hawaii, however, after talking with officers, he decided upon traveling and seeing Chicago and New York and when he returned, he would be given another furlough to go back to Hawaii. He would then get surgery in California and get discharged at Fort Lewis. He would once again, return to Hawaii, where he would be told he would have to wait in quarantine for a week before getting home. Next, he talks about the people that he corresponded with during the war and talks about some of the famous people that were involved with the war, such as Ernie Pyle.
