“I served after the Korean War, assigned to a Class A photo lab at Armed Forces Far East (AFFE) headquarters, Camp Zama, Japan. It was an incredible experience. As a photojournalist, I photographed 32 Generals — from three-star to Major Generals. I spent 2,000 hours in a helicopter surveying Army functions over Tokyo. I climbed a 350-ft microwave tower to photograph the parabolic attachments and I took pictures of events such as medal of honor recipients, promotions and hometown releases.”
