Ah, Linda Yamamoto. She… was born in Kokura.

She was of mixed American heritage and a top star of the 1970s. By the time I became aware of things, she was a singer everyone knew.

I started researching her.

According to Wikipedia, she was born on March 4, 1951, in Kokura. Her father died in the Korean War before she was one year old.

Her real name is Atsuko, but her father nicknamed her Linda. ‘Linda’ is Spanish for ‘beautiful girl’.

Then I searched his uniform. If he was in the US Army, it’s possible that he was in the 24th Infantry Division. I couldn’t tell if it was the exact uniform I was looking for, so I looked through back issues of the 24th Infantry Division Association magazine.

Yes! The same uniform.

I will research about her and her father, maybe. Because I want them to know her story, the veterans of the 24th Infantry Division and Korean War veterans, even the veterans in heaven.

Definitely, he is proud of her in heaven.

Linda in 2018. Wow!!!
