On June 1, 2020, I had the rare opportunity to sit down and interview a WWII veteran--this was my second interview with a Greatest Generation veteran. Mr. Lee Graham was in the US Army as a Technician and discharged as a corporal (Technician 5th Grade). Mr. Graham was assigned to the infamous Sugamo Prison in Toyko, Japan which contained some of the worst war criminals of WWII such as Prime Minister Hideki Tojo who ordered the Batann Death March. The "Toyko Rose" Iva Toguri was also imprisoned in Sugamo when Mr. Graham was assigned there. The day after Mr. Graham graduated from high school in Oklahoma, he was in the US Army. Like most people who served in WWII, Mr. Graham humbly summarized that he just did what was needed for his country. He returned after 1.5 years of service to enter the natural gas industry in Oklahoma and raised a wonderful family...this is his story. To all those who served in WWII and beyond, thank you.
