We spent the first night at an airport and then moved to another Army camp the next day then the third bn came up and took over here. I was in on the big thing at this camp I came up with the first gen jeeps and saw the Jap General sign the camp over to us then to top it all off I was picked to take the Jap General to his home. He talked to me all the way but I didnt know a thing he said. When he got out he saluted me. He seemed happy about the whole thing. The climate here is good and cool. We have a big mt right afore us and it looks just like Mt Fugiama sic. They say it sure gets cold here in the winter.
