    About this ebook

    Journal of an Army Medic during the Korean war. James Muzzey has been gone for many years but not his journals.James loved to write ─ he wrote everything down. I inherited his daily journals spanning over sixty years and was in no big hurry to read about his experiences during the Korean conflict. As most civilians, I didn’t know much about it. He wrote this journal in the 1950's.

      Journal of an Army Medic - B.D. Vanderpol

      JAPAN

      The name for Japan is The Land of the Rising Sun. Looking over Japan I could still see the scars of war, still crippled after taking such a crushing defeat four years after the night that America will long remember on December 7, 1941 when they bombed Pearl Harbor.

      They are recovering despite having their industrial plants crushed completely. They are doing a wonderful job of putting their buildings back into shape, but you can still see the destruction that every war leaves behind. I looked into several of the caves where many of their people stayed as our planes bombed. It seems that a nation seldom recovers completely from a war. America still feels some effects of the Civil War. In spite of the war, the Japanese people treated us wonderfully. They were courteous and very polite to us, even inviting us into their homes. We talked about their nation and their customs.

      Japan is a country made up of many islands, all together averaging the size of California. It is a very beautiful country. A large part of the country is made up of wooded areas, high mountains, beautiful lakes and rushing streams which as they made their way down made incredible waterfalls.
