At random: The first Japanese prisoner of war captured by the Americans was Kazuo Sakamaki, an ensign in the Imperial Japanese Navy. He was captured on the morning of December 7, 1941. Sakamaki had set an explosive charge to destroy his disabled submarine, which had been trapped on Waimanalo Beach. When the explosives failed to go off, he swam to the bottom of the submarine to investigate the cause of the failure and became unconscious due to a lack of oxygen. Sakamaki was found by a Hawaiian soldier, David Akui, and was taken into military custody. When he awoke, he found himself in a hospital under American armed guard. After the war he returned to Japan and found work with the Toyota Motor Corporation before retiring in 1987. Sakamaki died on November 29, 1999, aged 81.

My wife a (since the Civil War) and I are going on an extended, no pressure, liesurely drive cross country on June 5th. We plan to see Winslow AR or AZ? of the Eagles song "Take it easy" and then the Painted Desert, Meteor Crater and cliff dwellings. Then to New Orleans one of our favorite places. After that to FLA and then North to VA where my son lives. Possibly to Newport RI where I was born. The point of this is anyone who would like to sit down for a cuppa coffee while we swing your way, please send contact info and we will give you a call and stop for short visit.
