We anchored in Buckner Bay and went ashore in LCVP's to visit the island, many of us taking tours that went through Naha, the capital, and on to Suicide Cliff and other points of WWII interest. We found the islanders to be very nearly like the Japanese We had met in Yokosuka, and Okinawa was, in fact, considered the southernmost island of the Japanese homeland at one time. Today, it occupies a very strategic position in our defense chain, and is thus called the 'cKeystone lslandf, The predominate scenery of the island was rice pad- dies, and these stretched for miles in smooth green blankets over the countryside. Situated among the fields and valleys were small villages, the homes there being made largely of clay and stones. White Beach at the boat landing was the recreation center, and there we found real fine officers, and enlisted clubs. A special treat Was in the form of an Okinawan girls' group, the members of which supplied music, danc- ing, and singing for our entertainment. Our stay in the island Was short, and when We went to sea again, we were on the Way to Hong Kong. m 1 ' i f at fi L . M -.Qu
