Camp Robinson, Arkansas
Where Soldiers Began Their War

During World War II, Camp Robinson in Arkansas served as a major U.S. Army training center.

Hundreds of thousands of young men passed through this camp, completing basic training before deployment to the European and Pacific theaters of war.

Life at Camp Robinson was demanding. In winter, soldiers trained and lived in simple wooden barracks, enduring cold weather, strict discipline, and long days of preparation. For many, these months marked the transition from civilian life to military service.

Among them were Chinese American soldiers, who entered the U.S. Army at a time when full equality was still denied to them at home.

Here, at Camp Robinson, their journey into the war —
and into American history — began.

Happy 101st Birthday (Happy 1st Birthday!) to Wing Y Lai
Happy 101st Birthday—or as you so delightfully put it, Happy 1st Birthday as you begin your second century!
Your wonderful sense of humor and youthful spirit are as inspiring as your distinguished service with the 14th Air Service Group, 555 Air Service Squadron in the China-Burma-India Theater. As part of the legendary Flying Tigers, you were instrumental in supporting the operations that helped forge the enduring friendship between the United States and China during one of history's most critical moments.
The CBI Theater may have been called the "forgotten theater," but the courage and dedication of servicemen like you will never be forgotten. Your contributions to the war effort and the legacy of the Flying Tigers continue to inspire us all.
Beginning this new century of your life at "one year old" shows the same indomitable spirit that carried you through your service decades ago. May this special year bring you continued health, happiness, and joy surrounded by those who love and admire you.
Thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and for reminding us all to embrace life with humor, grace, and an unwavering spirit.
With deepest respect and warmest birthday wishes,

祝Wing Y Lai 101岁生日快乐（祝1岁生日快乐！）
祝您101岁生日快乐——或者按您那可爱的说法，祝您1岁生日快乐，开启您人生的第二个百年！
您美好的幽默感和年轻的精神，就像您在第14航空勤务大队555航空勤务中队、中印缅战区的杰出服役一样令人钦佩。作为传奇飞虎队的一员，您为促成美中两国在历史最关键时刻建立的深厚友谊做出了重要贡献。
中印缅战区或许曾被称为"被遗忘的战区"，但像您这样的军人所展现的勇气和奉献精神永远不会被遗忘。您对战争的贡献和飞虎队的光荣传统将继续激励我们所有人。
以"一岁"的身份开启人生新百年，展现了当年支撑您完成服役使命的那份不屈不挠的精神。愿这特别的一年为您带来持续的健康、幸福和快乐，与所有爱您、敬仰您的人共度美好时光。
感谢您的服役、您的牺牲，以及您用幽默、优雅和坚定不移的精神提醒我们如何拥抱生活。
致以最深的敬意和最温暖的生日祝福，
