UP and DOWN IN and AROUND NORTH and SOUTH KOREA

Kenneth A. Tashiro has long wanted to share his vivid memories of his Korean War experiences. His previous book "Wase Time" shared his experience as a teenager incarcerated in a Japanese -American internment camp during World War II. After his military service he attended the University of California at Berkeley and San Jose State University. He taught elementary, high school and special education classes in California for 29 years. Since his retirement he has relocated from Watsonville, California to Kailua-Kona, Hawaii and now lives in Honolulu, Hawaii with his wife Taye. They share three children, three grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Now at 95 years old, he shares this book as part of the legacy that shaped him and as a tribute to Korean War Veterans who served with him in the "Forgotten War" that freed South Korea.
