Texas museum to return Good Luck Flag of WWII Japanese soldier back to his family

A flag that belonged to a fallen Japanese soldier during World War II will be returned to his family after being kept on display at the USS Lexington Museum in Corpus Christi, Texas, for 29 years. Return of the flag: The Japanese Good Luck Flag repatriation ceremony was held on the Hangar Bay of the WWII aircraft carrier-turned-museum on Thursday. The Obon Society, a non-profit organization that has already helped repatriate over 500 flags back to Japanese families over the past 13 years, will be helping with the process, with its founders, Rex and Keiko Ziak, serving as representatives when bringing the flag home along with museum representatives, according to the press release.
