Ze565. I like this picture, it shown my grandson Dylan in front of a picture with young boys playing with toy air craft; this is in the Army Museum at the Ft. Derussy Beach Park. That is exactly the same thing Dylan is doing when he plays.

Ze561. My Grandson Dylan and my son in Law Keun are looking at a 105mm howitzer at the Army Museum in Ft. Derussy. This picture is very symbolic to me because I came from a divided country that is now united again. My grandson Dylan who is of Viet Namese ethnicity and that country is united again also, although under a communist regime. Keu is a son of a Korean-American family and his country is not united yet!

Ze554. The Army Museum in Fort Derussy in Waikiki is housed in the former Battery Randolph with 14 Inch and 6 Inch guns. This is the way it looked then. The guns were scrapped after the war and the 6 Inch Battery was demolished. I have visited the former batteries on the Manila Bay forts many times so this picture made me feel at home.
