At peace at Peace Park Okinawa. Did you know that The Battle of Okinawa was a major battle of the Pacific War fought on this island by United States Marine and Army forces?? It was a 98-day battle that lasted from March 26th until July 2nd, 1945. It was the bloodiest battle of the Pacific War. Here at Peace Memorial Park there’s a section that identifies the names of each individual who died on Okinawa in World War II and beautiful tome stones to honor those who have died which were separated by different prefecture of this island. As of 2010, the monument lists 240,931 names, including 149,193 Okinawan civilians, 77,166 Imperial Japanese soldiers, 14,009 American soldiers, and smaller numbers of people from South Korea (365), the United Kingdom (82), North Korea (82) and Taiwan (34).

If you watch the documentary of “THE BATTLE OF OKINAWA” then you will be able to understand why some Okinawans hate us and hate that we live here. I honestly don’t blame them after watching it. This peace memorial park was definitely a place we had to visit and see in person. We paid our respect to those who lost their lives and thanked them for allowing us to live peacefully on@their island.
