Visited Uncle Walter's grave at the beautiful Punchbowl Cemetery in Hawaii last week.  I saluted him and said a prayer. Next to Walter's Grave is the grave of an Unknown Soldier. Craighullinger@gmail.com

Next to their graves were graves of Japanese American's from the 109th Battalion and the 442nd Regiment. Those units were part of my father's 34th Division from Dakota, Iowa, and Minnesota. Most of them were from Hawaii, and went east to die in combat in Italy and France. Walter Anderson went west to die in combat in the Pacific. We respect and appreciate their sacrifice.

The memorial structure has murals of the battles.  This is the island where Walter died.

The cemetery is beautiful.
