Recuerdo más vívido de la experiencia militar

The most vivid memory of being in the Womens' Army Corp especially at Ft. Snelling, MN Military Intelligence Language School was the DRESS PARADE. It represented all 51 (47 Niseis, 3 Caucasians and 1 Chinese American) classmates. For me, it was a thrilling experience - I'll never forget.
