re: Okinawa soon to be Turkey, Checking in

Not very many. There is Peace Park on the southen tip of the island. It contains memorials to both sides in the war. We pretty much bombed the southern part of the island back to the stone age. However, they have rebuilt most of the historic structures. They also have tours of the tunnels that Japanese used to defend the island. Interesting. "The Battle of Okinawa" is a good book about the fighting there. It recounts the battle from both American and Japanese viewpoints.
