WWII Veteran’s Grandson Returns Historic Flag to Japanese Family

Scott Stein, a New York resident, embarked on a heartfelt mission to return a Japanese good luck flag, known as a “Yosegaki Hinomaru,” to the descendants of its original owner. The flag, a wartime souvenir from his grandfather Bernard Stein, who served in the Philippines during World War II, held a deep sentimental value. Initially planning to restore the flag, Scott changed course after consulting with a cultural heritage expert who helped him locate the family in Japan. The successful return of the flag forged a poignant connection between the Stein family and the Japanese descendants, honoring the memory of those affected by the war and turning a relic of conflict into a symbol of reconciliation and peace.
