    So touching to see that they are not forgotten.

    If that is a Japanese veteran I'm guessing his intentions were of peace and amends and honoring former foes.

    Post deleted, since I am no expert on Japanese uniforms.

    Based on my time in Japan, I would guess that RiverKilt is spot on. The Japanese vets and current military are very concious of their role in world history. They are very courteous when dealing with foreign military, especially WWII remembrances. If he bore ill will, he likely would have just stayed home.
    I wish I believed in reincarnation. Where's Charles Martel when you need him?
