My time in the Navy took me to many of the scenes of the Pacific War only 18-19 years after the events. When I walked the ground in southern Okinawa, where the fighting happened, there was no place one could step without disturbing the detritus of the war that was underfoot. Of all my experiences in the Far East, where one could easily find the reminders of war nearly everywhere from Japan through Okinawa to the Philippines, nothing has remained with me more strongly than the memory of visiting Nagasaki.
