Good article over at the BBC. Wood Williams (Cpl USMC, MoH) was one of the veterans attending. So was Tsuruji Akikusa, an 18 year old radio operator in the Japanese Navy in February, 1945. The article talks about Mr. Akikusa's experience being wounded in the initial Naval bombardment, and eventual capture in a semi-conscious state at the end of April. A bit of BBC we (USA) are the bad guys slant to it of course. Good to see Woody Williams doing well!
Semper Fi.
