Personal History: Andrew Komesu was born from Okinawan parents, he leans more into his Okinawan culture, learning Japanese and listening to a lot of stories from his mother. When going through school in Hawaii, he blended in well with the others, learning English through school and Japanese at home, he quickly became dual linguistic. Though he knew two languages, he kept Japanese at home and English in public, often helping his parents with translating documents and such at an early age. When he graduated high school and did one year of community college. Throughout his life in the institutions, was highly uneventful, though he was creative and artistic many put him with the others, an average student. After dropping out of college, he started work as a lifeguard, as well as much of freelance work around the San Diego area. After a couple of years of going around and traveling the valley, he was handed a draft letter to report for induction into the United States Armed Forces. During his boot camp, was the first time he was met with a large amount of prejudice. Though he'd faced it here and there in his life, the unpopular view of the Vietnamese did not help him. Eventually, the slurs and the jokes came naturally to him, he could catch one and send it back, though it was not always kindly received. Often, he kept to himself if he needed too, and now sent on his first tour through Vietnam, he felt wholly unprepared for what was to come.
