| Message | I went to a Navy family picnic in July organized by Jim Huen who is doing a project related to his father's life (from 1932), and the Navy's treatment of him and other Chinese aboard ships. While there, I saw a picture of four Chinese cooks in Navy uniform who survived the sinking of USS Houston. I also talked to Mr. Ho's two sons and his four grandsons; I also met Ah Chie's son and his grand daughter.
Oh, who was that "Ho" guy aboard USS Houston? Well to the Navy, it was unimportant. He would just have to die with the nickname he friends on ship called him - Ah Soy!
Somehow I seem to detect a familiar ring here to the Mid East problems today! |
