A hint that the war was over.
Heroes Remember
A hint that the war was over.
It’s the best time of my life, really,
that (inaudible) because we knew
there was something going on.
There was big planes, the B-29’s and
that flying by all day long and, you know,
they didn’t bomb our place too much
but they’d be going over.
And you could hear them talking and
we knew that they were scared.
Something was going on.
But how the Americans found our camp I
don’t know but they found our camp and
they started to drop food.
Even the civilians didn’t know
what was going on, you know.
I feel sorry for the civilians
because the civilians were starving just
as much as we did but as far as eating,
the Jap civilians didn’t have
much to eat anyway.
Everything went for the army.
