My father fought to invade Okinawa and they sent him back I don’t know how many times

Okinawa has some beautiful landscape and duty there in the ‘60’s wasn’t so bad, especially since I was attached to the Army medical center - but I often thought about those who were there twenty years earlier and what they had to go through to subdue the island - just seeing the terrain they had to fight over and sometimes recapture time after time was enough to make you understand they were all heroes.....
