Okinawa Battlefield

Hello, about 6 months ago while I was on leave back in the States, I had a conversation with my Grandfather. He told me about his cousin being killed on the landing at Okinawa. Since I'm stationed on Okinawa, I told him about the memorial that was built to remember those fallen during the battle. When my family and I returned we drove down to "Peace Memorial Park" and retrieved a rubbing of the name along with a few pictures. Needless to say, my family truly appreciated this jester.
Long story short, I've created a website to request name rubbings of friends and family that fell during the battle. I stated researching, and I couldn't believe that out of the 50K soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines, that no one has set anything like this up. The website and service is free. Please check out the site, and send it to your friends and family that might be interested. http://www.okinawamemorialrubbings.org
