I was away yesterday attending my Uncles funeral in San Antonio. My uncle served under General Simon Bolivar Buckner on Okinawa with the 80th I.D.

I had made a mistake about some of my info on him in another posting. I believe I had said he was the sole survivor of his Company from WW2, thankfully I was wrong, apparently there are at least 3. I met these men at his funeral and I hope to talk them into sharing their Okinawa experiances with me to post here. Apparently, these 3 men had been wounded and evacuated from where the Company positions were, sometime before the Japanese infiltrated the Companies positions. Tha Command Chaplain of Kelly AFB was a big help.
