You are most welcome. The Japanese did indeed occupy most of the Pacific Basin and had they actually taken Hawaii it would have been most difficult to prosecute the War. There is no way to understate the importance of Hawaii.
One of my ancestors came through Hawaii on their way to the mainland US. He was the engineer for a couple of bridges in the Kingdom before he came to Oregon to stay.
Wow, so you have Hawaiian blood.
No, the blood was strictly Scots, but the story goes through the Kingdom!
Oh I see now.
