Okinawa, Japan - 30th April 2009
By: JaymeC
Dear Mommy,
We took another trip to the Peace Memorial on Okinawa. It is a very sad place. Over 200,000 people died on Okinawa during World War II. 76,000 Japanese soldiers, 6,000 American Soldiers, and over 100,000 civilians. This park was built to remember them. In one building they have 1000 cranes in a wish for peace.
Here is the Memorial itself. Every one who died during the Battle of Okinawa is remembered here with their name carved into the stone.
The park is situated very beautifully on the edge of these cliffs.
More soon,
Bobbie
