The Battle of the Yamaha

One of my neighbors was on a destroyer during World War II, and was on the bridge when it was hit by a kamikaze. He was the only survivor. I was talking to him one day and noticed that he was missing part of a finger, so I asked him if that was related to the kamikaze, and he said "No, that was the Battle of the Yamaha." Yamaha is the company that manufactured his lawnmower.

He'll be 102 in July, and is in better shape than a lot of people I know who are half his age.
