 Gen. Bradley came to Tokyo on July 3, 1950 to review our parade down Ginza 
Ave. on the Fourth of July. I was in GHQ at the time, in charge of receiving 
dry cleaning at the post laundry. The morning he arrived a weapons carrier 
pulled up at the loading dock, and dropped off a small bundle. The 
interpreter brought it to me, and I found it was Gen. Bradley's dress 
uniform. I put on the coat. He must have been a pretty big guy. I am 6' 2" 
tall, and the coat fitted me perfectly. I strutted around in the jacket, 
bearing four stars, and a chest-full of ribbons. The Japanese working in the 
dry cleaning department thought it was hilarious. Two months later, I was in 
Korea. Earning a few ribbons of my own, as an infantryman.
