2 minutes by car from the hospital where I went to take care of my father、Maritime Self-Defense Force Ominato Inspector General Headquarters (former Japanese Navy Ominato Base 60 years ago)。The beginning of the Pacific War、It seems that the combined fleet for the attack on Pearl Harbor was assembled here)。It is currently the Ominato/Hokkaido Area Headquarters of the Maritime Self-Defense Force.。Evening of January 3rd、A calm winter day for the first time in a while、This photo was taken when I stopped by on my way home from the hospital.。
When I was in elementary school、There was a group called the Marine Boys.。I was thin and lanky, but I was attracted to the strong image of a ``sea man'' and aspired to join the group.。I learned the flag signals quickly (and for some reason I still remember them).。I used to admire white officer uniforms, but now it seems like a dream.、Looking at the ship、I'm still kind of nervous。
I'm from a generation that doesn't know about war.。But when I talked about my parents when I was a child, I think there were a lot of stories about them being involved in the war.。Less than 20 years after the war,、The memory must have still been fresh.。
for the country、for parents。That's how I looked at my grandfather and parents, who couldn't look at themselves.。I'm sorry for that.、I'll live my way、I used to laugh off my parents' concerns.、When it comes to my own children,、I'm shocked as well.。
The base's bugle sounded。I have already forgotten the meaning of each trumpet.。 2012/1/16
