This year marks the 65th anniversary of the end of the Battle of Okinawa. In Okinawa there is a public holiday on June 23rd, Irei no hi, that commemorates the end of this battle and remembers all the lives lost. This day is a holiday on Okinawa but not in Japan. Read more about this on my Okinawa blog.
