Dan's site is excellent. Also see the other Raider Site ( U.S. Marine Raiders - Official Web Site Flash Introduction (http://www.usmarineraiders.org/)). On that site is a link to old Raider patch newsletters.

Naha was cleaned up quite a bit when I was there '74-'74, looking like downtown Tokyo in places. Every so often they would lose a Japanese construction crew to a long-lost piece of ordnance such as a random 14" shell. Up in the Northern Training Area when I was there, the Marines found a prepared revetment with a Nambu light set up with loaded mags stacked, well rusted but complete.
