Lt Borgenson Carried Home Japanese Soil
Lt J J Borgenson recalls the first day of American occupation in Japan, directing about 150 Japanese truckers in Tokyo. He later carried Jap soil home, and his accounts include a 75,000 troop transport record, a baby born aboard ship, and a close encounter with a Jap sniper on Saipan. He is on terminal leave at 331 Forest Drive SE with his wife and son.
