盟军侦查员，吉佐，所罗门群岛，2002

在二战期间，Eroni Kumana和许多其他的所罗门群岛居民一起担任盟军侦查员，乘坐独木舟在南太平洋水域巡逻。1943年，Eroni Kumana和其他的向导发现了海军上尉约翰F?肯尼迪（Lt. John F. Kennedy）和他的手下，肯尼迪的PT-109在几天前被日军撞坏了。

Eroni Kumana和他的同伴冒着被日军酷刑拷问及被杀的危险轮流发送求救信号，使原本已放弃PT-109上全体成员的美军司令官，发动了紧急救援行动。

Allied Scout, Gizo, Solomon Islands, 2002

The T-shirt—a gift from a tourist—doesn't lie.

In World War II Eroni Kumana and many other Solomon Islanders served as Allied scouts, patrolling South Pacific waters in dugout canoes. In 1943 he and another guide discovered Lt. John F. Kennedy and his crew, who had been shipwrecked days before when a Japanese destroyer rammed their boat, PT-109.

Risking torture and death at the hands of the surrounding Japanese, Kumana and his partner relayed messages that would initiate the 11th-hour rescue operation by U.S. commanders who had given up the PT-109 crew for dead.
