Who is Jinger

[Jinger Rat Snapps]

Jinger, I close my eyes and see a handmade book with your family history and beautifully painted illustrations of flowers.  Do you have such a book?

My family history is done on scrolls and books but are read North to South and East to West and yes flowers are an important part of Japanese society but our family flower is the shiro plum

but what I remember most was walking hand in hand thru the flood to a person we used to call a bum who lived on the Indian Mound who gave us shelter in his house and never asked for a thing in return,,that is how I live my life now.

Jinger I would like to know what you think about the American Iron Chef show vs. the original Japanese one.

I know this is abit late but since I have been getting a lot of post about me I figured I would fill more in.  My father was born in 1936 and my mother in 1937 both is Los Angeles, Ca., both full blooded Japanese and both were sent to a Relocation Camp in Arizona where they met.  My mother died in February 2018 at the age of 81 and my father died one week later at the age of 82.  Both my parents loved the United States and even thought they were wronged they still loved her until the day they died.  In 1977 I joined the US Military at 18 years of age and was an American Citizen.  When I turned 21 I had a choice to make, keep my American Citizenship or become a Japanese Citizen.  As a 1st. Lt. on her way to making Captain the choice was not easy, give up a right that my parents never had and still loved a country that put them in confinement or... the choice did not seem like a choice, but I chose to become a Japanese Citizen even though my parents were against it.  I retired with 20 yrs as an LTC and until their dying days they could never figure out why I chose to give up something so dear to them that they could never get by birth and still serve the Country that put them in Relocation.  I have no bad feelings towards the US, I just did my Duty as I took an Oath too and when that Duty was complete I went my separate way.

I wish Japan allowed dual citizenship for my kids.  In Japan, their family is quite accomplished, their ogiichan says they should choose to be Americans though because they're raised here.

Times have changed but was doing the green card thing difficult?

I still think their future is in Japan, even if just newsreaders.

Wow.  That's a very tight timeline.  18 in '77 when you enlist.  I assume that you graduated fm high school?  You went to OCS, where a friend dies, and three years later you are up for Captain.  You go fm enlisted to eligible for Captain. In three years.  Did you finish your years of college during those three years?  Am I understanding you?  Shit, you must be one incredible split tail.
