Note:
Full title:Staff Sergeant Ken Kato has returned home after serving with the Army since 1941. He saw action for more than two
years in the South Pacific Area, having volunteered for such duty the day after Pearl Harbor. An airplane crack-up at Leyte
led to his recent medical discharge from the Army. Ken is very disappointed that he was unable to continue in action long
enough to take part in the invasion of the Japanese home islands. However, he predicts that, except for sporadic guerrilla
fighting, the war in the Pacific will be over by March 1946. His family has recently returned to San Mateo from Topaz. Ken
is planning to return to college in the fall under the G.I. Bill of Rights.<lb/> Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru<lb/> San Mateo,
