Road to Victory: Okinawa

On April 1st, 1945, U.S. forces stormed the quiet beaches of Okinawa. On this 60-mile strip of coral rock, the final land battle between the United States and Japan played out. At stake—the defense of the Japanese homeland and the fate of the Empire. Join us on May 3rd to examine the big questions of the campaign: “Why did we invade Okinawa?”, “What happened during the battle?” and “Why does it matter?”.
During the program, the living history volunteers of Company K will engage in a battle presentation including simulated explosives, blank firing guns, WWII vehicles, and a live M2-2 flamethrower!
Presentations are offered at 11:00 and 2:00. This presentation is not recommended for small children, pets, or those with heart conditions.
