Marines with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit explore the Peace Memorial Park during a Marine Corps Community Services-sponsored tour of historically significant points of interest across southern Okinawa, Japan, July 13, 2018. The Peace Memorial Park names each member of the Japanese and U.S. militaries killed during the Battle of Okinawa. During the tour, Marines and Sailors with the 31st MEU learned about the savage fighting of the Battle of Okinawa, which pitted U.S. Marine, U.S. Navy and U.S. Army forces against the Imperial Forces of Japan. The more than two-month battle claimed hundreds of thousands of lives, both military and civilian, between April and mid-June 1945. (U.S. Marine Corps Photo by Gunnery Sgt. T. T. Parish/Released)
