    Okinawa marks 77th anniversary of significant WWII ground battle

    People visit a monument at the Peace Memorial Park in Itoman in Okinawa Prefecture, southern Japan, on June 23, 2022, the 77th anniversary of the end of the Battle of Okinawa. The names of over 200,000 people who lost their lives in the major World War II ground battle between Japanese and U.S. troops are engraved on the monument. Okinawa on Thursday marked the 77th anniversary of the end of a major World War II ground battle between Japanese and U.S. troops, with Prime Minister Fumio Kishida the first Japanese leader in three years to attend the memorial service due to coronavirus pandemic restrictions. Okinawa Gov. Denny Tamaki in a "peace declaration" said Russia's invasion of Ukraine evoked memories of the conflict in the southern island prefecture while pledging to "continue efforts to abolish nuclear weapons and renounce war, so that Okinawa will never become a battlefield again."
