Hacksaw Ridge
#4

Having spent so much time on Okinawa, I will be very interested in seeing this. Just before I left the island (insert sad face here) in June, I was able to take a battle site tour with my son and his 5th grade class. One of the places we went was Kakazu ridge (http://www.jahitchcock.com/kakazu.html)

From the observation tower you can see Hacksaw ridge in the distance. I actually was there in person in 1998, but I unfortunately don't have any pictures. I remember hearing about Desmond Doss from the tour guide (actually the same guy in 1998 that did our tour this last June).
