Correction, please!Wherever could the information in my letter in the Crescent, Nov. 13, have come from? I was not interviewed personally and while I did answer questions about my service and experiences for a young sixth grader in Minneapolis, which I understand was on a Web site, that material is not available to me. Anyone would know there were NO soldiers in Japan before the A-bomb was dropped. Neither was I!My outfit, 33rd Division, 123rd Field Artillery, had recently completed a drive to Baguio, the Japanese held summer capitol of the Philippines. Soon after its capture, my outfit was moved to the lowlands, Lingayan Gulf, where we began training for the initial invasion of the Japanese mainland. After the A-bomb was dropped and Japan surrendered, we were sent in as the occupation troops, located at an airstrip near Osaka. Our primary job was to disable the Japanese airplanes and equipment.Next time, please let me read and correct my own letters before publishing them. Ray NelsonHills
