After his father's passing, Rekola made it his mission to find and return the journal to the soldier's family. The secrecy surrounding the family led Rekola to distrust the process, and he refused to hand the journal over to just anyone. Rekola gave interviews to media in Seattle and Japan on and off for 30 years in hopes of reaching the soldier's family.
