The Dutch are very creative people and have used this creativity to survive as a small nation that is protected from the ocean by a series of levees, sea walls and canals. In this picture, a HIP-featured photographer who was a US soldier in occupied Germany captures what is a very unusual Dutch tulip garden. The garden is in the form of a wheel and is also surrounded by a moat. We will never know if this was done for purely artistic reasons, or for some other purpose, but George thought it was unusual enough to capture the moment. We agree.

     Taken by George Sakata, a photographer featured throughout our website. George was a member of the infamous 100th Division 442nd Nisei Regimental Combat Team in WWII. This was the only Japanese American unit in WWII and was nicknamed the "Go For Broke" unit. The 442nd had a casualty rate of 93% and was awarded 21 Medal of Honors. Click here for more information on the 442nd RCB unit.
