When Marvin Strombo finally handed the flag back to Sadao Yasue's younger brother and sisters Tuesday, he understood what it really meant to them. Tatsuya Yasue buried his face into the flag and smelled it, then he held Strombo's hands and kissed them. The smell of the flag immediately brought back childhood memories to the soldier's younger brother. About 20 years ago, Yasue visited Saipan with his younger brother, imagining what their older brother might have gone through. At least the flag and his story suggest Yasue died on the ground, which also raises hopes of retrieving his remains.
