NEAR KAGOSHIMA IN JAPAN IS THE KAMIKAZI MUSEUM, which I visited a few days ago. In this somber place are the letters and personal stories of over 1,000 teenage pilots who died for a cause they were told to believe in. They had wives, children, mothers, and faced certain death. Their last letters were poignant: regrets about not showing enough love, sadness on leaving, joy to be serving, and a strong sense of an afterlife and being present after death. It was deeply moving, and I left feeling very sad for their brave losses.
