Repost: "Capt. Julius Dusenberg raises the Confederate Navy Jack over Shuri Castle on Okinawa after its capture by A Company, Red Battalion of the 5th Marine Regiment on May 29, 1945"
My father fought nearby. He was a private (rifleman) in the 1st Division. I have most of his unit numbers, but I think I am missing something. He was in the same squad as Mike Narcovage, the BAR man on the 1995 postage stamp commemorating the Battle of Okinawa.
