#133: Tales from Punchbowl, Part VII

Ghosts of Arlington Podcast

I'd love to hear your thoughts - send me a text here

Today's episode covers the lives of eight men named Nakada. The first seven were all brothers who served in the Army in World War II - the most of any family in the United States. The final Nakada, Captain Pershing Nakada, was the senior Nisei officer and only Nisei commander in the 442nd Regimental Combat Team. He commanded and along with his seven Nisei lieutenants led the 442nd's 232rd Combat Engineer Company.
All eight of these men survived the war and two of them would eventually be buried at Arlington National Cemetery.
This week's Ghosts of Arlington are:
1. Army Technician 5th Grade Minoru Paul Nakada - Columbarium 5, Row 13, Niche 5
2. Army Lieutenant Colonel Pershing Nakada - Section 68, Grave 4146
The Ghosts of the Pacific Theme is Ukulele and Love Birds by emjaydabayou, with a few Waves of Hawaii added for ambiance.
The Ghosts of the Pacific Transition music are some Uke Chords by turkitron.
