Occupied Japan

This litle "cupa" teapot was made in Occupied Japan. It is marked on the bottom with raised letters. The flowers are also raised on the sides. It is in perfect condition. I think it is really cute....On WE channel last nite was a program some may remember from the early nineties China Beach. It was about a hospital unit in Vietnam on China Beach. I never missed it when it was on every week. Well after the very first pilot show was shown last night a special program came on . It was called Vietnam Women. There were numerous interviews with some of the nurses that took care of our boys in Vietnam. I challange anyone to watch this and not cry. Even after all these years you can see the pain and sadness in these womens faces. It was 1993 before these women got their own memorial in Washington D.C. It was 1989 before their names were added to the " Wall " and they were not entitled to a Purple Heart if they were wounded. To me and this is my own opinion every damn one of them would have gotten the Congressional Medal of Honor. If you had anyone in Vietnam be it friend or relative and they were wounded or maybe didn't make it these were the hands that wiped their faces and held their hands. It was these women that heard the last words of a 18 year old " tell Mom I loved her". Never ever forget these wonderful women............
