When I woke up, I was back in Saigon. I realized this because through the windows I could see familiar buildings and skylines. I wasn’t far from home. A mere minute of walking, from what I could see out the window, would take me back where I belonged- my home, my neighborhood, my alley. I […]

I joined the Japanese Military on January 30th, 1937, young, naive, and eager to fight. My father had brought home anecdotes of his travels through the numerous wars he participated in.

The next several years of Malcolm’s life would be the most turbulent he had, and I’m going to tell you everything he told me about his life, again, these years probably need a novel of their own. No, that’s an understatement, they’d need a series

The oldest child of Felix Anderson is Cameron Anderson, born in 1935, right at the time of the Great Depression. He’s the only one of the four who I’ve never met because he died long before I was born. From what Malcolm told me, he spent most of his childhood hanging out with friends on
