Description
Murakami begins the interview speaking about his family background, which included 5 brothers in addition to his parents. Growing up in Paia, Maui, he and his family moved around a lot going from plantation camp to plantation camp as his father worked for the Maui Agricultural Company. He continued like this until he graduated from High School, at which time he joined the Maui Electric Company. It was during his time there that the Pearl Harbor attacks occurred and led Murakami to joining the Army to prove his loyalty to America. Next, he talks about family reactions to volunteering and his shipment out of Maui.
