A WWII Japanese soldier's 'good luck flag' is returned to his family from U.S. museum
The flag belonging to Shigeyoshi Mutsuda was returned to his son from a U.S. war museum where it had been on display for 29 years. "It's a miracle," 83-year-old Toshihiro Mutsuda said.
TOKYO — Toshihiro Mutsuda was only 5 years old when he last saw his father, who was drafted by Japan's Imperial Army in 1943 and killed in action. For him, his father was a bespectacled man in an old family photo standing by a signed good-luck flag that he carried to war.
