Tuhia he tomokanga mō tēnei wāhanga - Ko Swing me ngā rangatira me ngā tangata o te 11th Airborne Division i utaina atu ki te Tonga ki te Uru o te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa i te marama o Mei 1944. Ka ārahi ia i te wehenga mō te roa o te pakanga, mai i te whakaekenga o Piripi
ki te whakaekenga o Hapani. I mihi a Swing me te 11th Airborne ki a General Douglas MacArthur i tana taenga mai ki Japan i Atsugi Airdrome i te Akuhata 30, 1945.
