A few random shots from our travels around the island.

This bridge was bombed by the Americans during WWII. The remnants reminded me of a Tori gate. I am sure there is some form of irony there.

An old concrete machine gun bunker.

The old Japanese communications building. You are not allowed in, as the back collapsed during a hurricane in 2012.

The memorial to the US 81st Infantry. It was a cemetery but years ago Congress went around the world and brought their war dead back to the US.

The old runway that was so precious to McArthur. If you watch The Pacific (HBO) they show how this area was an open field with all vegetation bombed and burned to the ground. Nature has reclaimed the airfield.

A plaque on a memorial from the Japanese people.

I would agree and let us all hope and pray for those around the world who are suffering through war today.
