Sadness of Bereaved Families

This section has stories related to the families of kamikaze pilots who died in the war. The deep sorrow felt by the families is shown in the following words of one grieving father, "If someone could have taken his place, I would have died instead of him. I wanted my son to live a long life." Several of the stories include letters written by the pilots.
