Colonel Pilet bought this historic house as his retirement home in 1955 and after 33 years service in the U.S. Army including 3 1/2 years incarceration in a Japanese Prisoner of War Camp
Because of his experience as a POW he named this last stop in his career Yasume, which in Japanese corresponds to the U.S. Army spoken command "At Ease".
An outstanding feature of Yasume is Colonel Pilet's Trophy Room with its lifetime collection of souvenirs from the various army posts where he was stationed, relics of the war with the Japanese and an imposing array of personal citations, ribbons and medals.
On a Chinese table are grouped the medals and ribbons awarded Colonel Pilet during his military career including the Distinguished Service Medal, the Bronze Star, the American Defense Service Medal with a silver star, American Campaign Medal, World War II Victory Medal, Asiatic Pacific Campaign Medal, Philippine Liberation Ribbon, with one bronze star, Unit Citation Ribbon with two oak leaf clusters and the National Defense Service Medal.
Other tangible mementos in the trophy room include a Samuari sword and pistol taken by Colonel Pilet from the Japanese colonel who commanded the Prisoner of War camp in Mukden, Manchuria at the time of its liberation by the Russian Army, together with Colonel Pilet's own sabre purchased by him when he was a Second Lieutenant when was sworn into service in June 1924. There is also the Swagger Stick carried by Colonel Pilet during his last command at Puerto Rico.
In a special display case are the canteen and cup carried by Colonel Pilet during the entire war. Also exhibited is an exploded aerial bomb fragment picked up by the Colonel on the spot he had occupied just seconds before the bomb exploded.
Proudly displayed is the gold watch presented to Colonel Pilet by Company A, Louisiana State University, when he was its captain during his senior year at that institution in 1924. That watch was carried by him throughout the war and was concealed when he was taken prisoner by the Japs by use of a surgical bandage inside his thigh.
As though to remind us that war is not all medals and citations but mostly periods of desperation and death this trophy room carries a photograph of General Wainwright's surrender to the Japanese at a conference table at Manila.
An unusual exhibit in the trophy room is the old flour sack with which was garbed a well dressed Japanese prisoner of war, namely Colonel Pilet, the name brand of the flower company appearing right at the seat of the pants. When Colonel Pilet returned to the United States he learned that the flour mill he was advertising so had been out of business twenty years. By Ray M.
