When the boat docked in

“I saw my wife and sisters

“You had to be really lucky

telegram read. “Never so

today. Your prayers for me
have been answered. Am feeling OK, getting wonderful
care. Don't worry about me.
On my way home by boat.
Longing to see you again.
Best wishes to all at home.
Hersh.
When the boat docked in
San Francisco, Miyamura
was the first one off.
“I saw my wife and sisters
there. My dad also was there.
Oh, I was so happy,” he said.
When Miyamura returned
to Gallup by train on Sept
9,the town turned out to
welcome him. Mayor D.F.
Mollica proclaimed it Hershey
Miyamura Day.

“As we were pulling into
the station, I could see all

been friends from childhood,

remembered of the tearful
reunion.
He rode through town in
a convertible and the parade
ended in front of his father's
house.
In October, Miyamura, his
family and several close"
friends, including fellow POW
Dan McKinney from Clovis,
were flown to Washington,
D.C., where Miyamura offi

from President Dwight Eisen
hower.

Now, memorabilia lines the
walls in Miyamura's family
room.
“
“You had to be really lucky
because so many heroic
deeds are done throughout
many wars and so many go
unnoticed,” Miyamura said.
“To receive a medal like this
and to live to tell about it
...I don't think anybody goes
out to be a hero or win a
medal. You just do what
you're trained to do.” '

Japanese Brazilians today
dominate the nation ' s tea
trade.
But there is another side to
the Japanese, Brazilian con
nection.
Immigrant links paved the
way for the old country riding
on the tide of a post-war boom,
to pour money into Brazil.
During the first wave of in
vestment, 20 years ago, Japa
nese helped build the giant
Usiminas Steelworks inland
at Belo Horizonte.
Japanese private compa
nies established the Ishibras
Shipyards near Rio, the Toyobo Textiles company, the Aowa Kogyo Textile Machines
firm and the Yanmar Motors
factory.
Toyota Motors are repre
sented in Brazil, although at
present with .only a' small
scale jeep building business.
And most of the major elec
tronics companies are active^
many of them are in the freeport tax haven of Mamanus
which is attracting industry
to the very , center of the
Amazon jungle.
A second burst of invest
ment in the 1970's has
brought total Japanese in
vestments in Brazil to around
$17 billion, ranking fourth
after the United States, West
Germanyand Switzerland.
