Recollections of a Relic Hunter (Okinawa) 
During my last deployment to Okinawa Japan, Saturday mornings were a very special time for me. Short years ago, I was
able to experience such enjoyable experiences with my comrades in Relic Hunting Dwayne and Major B as we travelled the
World War 2 Battlefields of Okinawa.
I knew that I had to write down the feelings and stories of our adventures exploring such historic places as Wana Ridge,
Kunishi Ridge and the final assault at Cape Kiyan.
This E-book describes those adventures and includes many never before seen photographs I've collected over the years,
I offer this to you to enjoy and learn about this small aspect of the War and Okinawa in particular.
