When He Knew They Had Lost!

I met an older gentleman of Japanese descent.

We were both swimmers in our swim club.

As a child living in Japan, he was forced to leave his home and live with other kids away from their homes.

His home was eventually bombed by the American Air Force during WWII.

After the war, he continued his education and received a Fulbright Scholarship to study in the U.S.

His flight stopped on the island of Guam for refueling.

As he looked out of his passenger window, he saw an American flag waving in the breeze.

He also saw a Japanese Destroyer that was rusting out and had run aground.

It was those two sights that helped him realize that Japan had really lost the war!
