The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with Richard Mosier. Mosier joined the Army in 1946, having been a high school student during the war, and was sent to Japan for occupation duty. Upon arrival, he was assigned to the International Military Tribunal for the Far East as a personal aide to the presiding justices. He was on friendly terms with all of them, and among the list of tasks he performed were repairing a family heirloom for Sir William Webb, playing bridge with Judge Bernard, picking out Christmas gifts for the Queen of Netherlands on behalf of Judge Röling, listening to General Zaryanov's jokes, and attending a special event at the Imperial Palace which no one outside the Imperial family had attended in over a century. After returning home from the tribunal one year later, Mosier visited Judge Higgins at the Massachusetts Superior Court and was invited to sit with him at the bench.

The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with Glenn E. Neff. After Neff finished high school, he entered the service in March, 1945. Neff discusses several anecdotes about his training days at Camp Robinson, Arkansas. While he was training, the war in Europe ended. Neff headed for the Pacific and contracted pneumonia aboard the troopship and spent most of his time on the voyage in sick bay. En route to the Philippines, the atomic bombs were dropped and the war ended. Neff's group went on to Leyte and he describes his impressions of camp life near Tacloban. While there, Neff recalls participating in some mopping-up operations, and pulling guard duty to a Japanese prison stockade. After several months in the Philippines, Neff was transferred up to Guam. At Guam, Neff encountered his high school algebra teacher and another classmate from back home. They toured the island together. Also on Guam, Neff put up a lot of communication wires in the coconut trees and laid cables underground. Neff left Guam and returned to the US for discharge in November, 1946.

The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with Frank Boffi. Boffi joined the Navy in September 1942 and received basic training in Newport. Boffi was assigned to the USS Bernadou (DD-153) as a machinist???s mate. He participated in the invasions of Sicily, Salerno, and Anzio. In June 1944 he was transferred to Norfolk to oversee the construction of the USS Hugh W. Hadley (DD-774). He joined the ship???s company, working in the engine room. He was badly burned during the kamikaze attack off of Okinawa, when damage to the ship sent hot steam blasting toward him as he escaped the engine room. A corpsman rescued Boffi, administered morphine. Boffi awoke two days later aboard the USS Solace (AH-5) and was transferred to Tinian, where he received the Purple Heart. He spent the next four months recovering and was discharged in November 1945. Boffi worked for the American Society of Safety Engineers until he retired at the age of 84.

The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with Lincoln Grahlfs. Grahlfs joined the Navy in October 1942 after working at Grumman. Upon completion of boot camp, quartermaster’s school, and visual communications training, he deployed to the Pacific aboard the USS Undaunted (ATA-199). He towed the USS Hugh W. Hadley (DD-774) from Kerama Retto to the States, traveling through a typhoon; after the storm cleared, the tow line parted nine times. After the war, his tug was busy helping ships that overestimated their capabilities in a hurry to get home. He was transferred to the USS ATR-40 for the Bikini atomic bomb testing, where he was 10 miles from the target during the detonations. His salvage unit was ordered to spend more than what was thought to be a safe amount of time aboard the USS Pennsylvania (BB-38), without safety equipment, operating pumps to keep it afloat. Grahlfs later based his dissertation on interviews with veterans who had been exposed to nuclear weapons testing; he found that although more than half reported illness due to radiation exposure, the military never recognized their claims. When Grahlfs returned to the States, he was treated for rare symptoms that fascinated …

The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an interview with Martin Weibel. Weibel was drafted into the Navy in April of 1944. He served aboard the USS Hugh W. Hadley (DD-774) as a watertender, working with the boilers in the ship???s engine room. He provides some detail of his work and life on board the Hadley. In December of 1944 they traveled to Leyte and Saipan. The Hadley provided escort duty and served on picket duty. Weibel describes a severe attack by enemy aircraft in May of 1945. Though greatly damaged the crew managed to get the Hadley to Kerama Retto for repairs. Weibel describes their adventures through a typhoon. He was discharged in June of 1946.
