Chapter 33: Mother's Day

A train took the POWs to an American base. People thought that Louie had died, only believing he was alive when they actually saw him. POWs continued to eat as much as they could. The doctor told Louie that he would never be able to run again. Louie ended up on Okinawa, waiting to be transported home. Louie was finally transferred to Hawaii and then to San Francisco, where he was cured of his dysentery.
