I'm Sgt. Savannah Mosby with your Marine Minute.
Over the weekend, Marines came together to commemorate two shrines dedicated to the Battle of Okinawa for the annual memorial service June 23, at Hama Park, Okinawa, Japan. At Hama Park, there are two shrines dedicated to the brave military members who sacrificed their lives for their countries. One shrine is for those service members lost during the Battle of Okinawa, and the second shrine is for Col. Kermit H. Shelly. Col. Shelly was the commanding officer of 3rd Force Service Support Regiment. Not only did Col. Shelly fight in the Battle of Okinawa, he helped build schools, houses, and a church, and constructed the island’s water reservoir system that is still in use to this day.
Also in the news,
The multinational exercise Khaan Quest 2019 hosted cordon and search training during the exercise June 22, at Five Hills Training Center, in Mongolia. Marines, Soldiers, and the Fijian Army participated in the training to hone their skills, and strengthen joint relationships.
