American seeks to return Japanese flag from WWII

YOKOSUKA, Japan - U.S. Navy reservist Michael Reid from Minnesota holds a Japanese national flag, which his grandfather brought back from the Philippines, at the U.S. Navy's Yokosuka base in Kanagawa Prefecture on Jan. 25, 2012. Reid is seeking to return the flag bearing Japanese names and messages to the original owner or the owner's family. Reid's grandfather William Galac fought in World War II in the Philippines and died in 2000 without having talked much about the flag or his war experience. (Kyodo)
