FROM: Spc. Petero Taufagu
Age 24, Kalihi, Company C, 100th Battalion, 442nd Infantry, Hawai'i Army National Guard. Civilian job: account manager at Rent-A-Center.

I want to say hi to my wife, Letofia, my daughter, Gingerlei, and my mom, Talitia. I’ll be home soon, and I’m doing fine up here. I miss all of them and I love them. Over here, it’s a whole other journey. It’s a different world. You are walking, you are patrolling, not knowing who is going to shoot from a crowded place. We have to be very careful what we do. So far, it’s going well. The people are cooperative ... thanking us for what we do for them.
