Meet Cpl. Harry Komatsu

Cpl. Harry Komatsu of Service Company, 442nd Inf., misses one thing in Mississippi. Snow. He is an avid skier — owning not one but two complete skiing outfits. His hometown, Sacramento, is not far from the Sierra Nevada's — his favorite stomping grounds. When not running his business, wholesale produce distribution, Cpl. Komatsu could be found either skiing or ice skating. Another favorite with him is track meets. “That's my dish! I never missed one if I could help it!” Being a sprinter himself, Cpl. Komatsu's interest can readily be understood. He has been in the army for 15 months being stationed at Ft. Riley Kas., before coming to Camp Shelby. Cpl. Komatsu recently celebrated his birthday May 13, in the company's mess hall. He doesn't mind army life, but wishes “this whole thing was over so it could live a normal life again!”
