Okinawa: A Personal Reminiscence

This is a gallery of pretty imperfect pictures, but it's a memory of many of the events and friends and good times we had with them during our three years in Okinawa.

Very much enjoy these - and of course interesting to glimpse some of the senior leader photos. I love seeing the Marines in formation with colors flying. Few formations would have the Japanese flag and the Confederate heritage evident!
