Konnichi wa Okiphiles!
I figured I’d put some effort into being able to put out some disjointed ramblings about our favorite topic; Okinawa. Or relics, or maybe the war or some sort of mix of those and others. Anyway, I believe this website has been successful in regards of bringing such a very small niche of us together in one spot. I want to thank a few people who without their material, ideas and help I wound not have been able to put this site together. Ken Spink, Torii Station museum director who jumpstarted a dead website. My relic hunting pals, Dewayne Barth and Preston Brenchley who provided help and support from day one. David Davenport, for providing his expertise and assistance in this endeavor. Chris Majewski from the Okinawa battle museum for information and updates from the island.
To Dave Davenport aka Grandpa Rat for whom this hobby was a life’s passion. His tireless work of preserving and teaching about the sacrifices made by all combatants and innocents in that dark time in history will always be missed.
