Default Okinawa Veterans Cemetary needs help

So while driving back from Peace Prayer Park a couple days ago. My wife and I took a wrong turn and ended up on this small empty road by Naha marina (Okinawa). It was at the end of this road we found a cemetary with rows of white crosses, some of which where broken off and some fell over. I did what I could to straighten the place up, but there is a couple cement crosses that need replaced. I posted pictures on my website Okinawa Memorial Rubbings provided by Bravenet.com If you'd like to look at them go to the pictures tab, and thier under "memorials" Right on the street side is a massive monument for Commodore Perry 1853, I guess he made land near that place. Also, after reading another plaque it said a couple of his guys are buried there.
So I guess the question is, where in the world can I find cement crosses to replace the broken ones. I'll be heading back to talk to the base historian, maybe he'll be able to help. Unless some one out there has a better idea.
