retired USA vietnam era This is a great web page, it is touching to see the Ernie is resting in such a peaceful and beautiful place. I have read a lot about him and continue to look for new material, old or new he was and is a great american and was a soldiers journalist. I hope he is looking down today saying I never would have dreamed that people/comrades would think so much of me. God Bless Ernie Pyle, God Bless all those serving on Okinawa, and those in harms way and God Bless America. Just jim

Leper Colony I served in the Army on Okinawa from 1958 to 1960, was dicharged and spent 8 years working for the Army as a civilian. In the the early 1960's a Catholic chaplin and I visted a leper colony on Ie Shima. I saw no mention of a leper colony in this article. Does it still exsist? I saw the Ernie Pyle Memorial. Also when I was in Bloomington, IN, at IU I saw many works of Ernie Pyle. Thanks You!!
Malls and more malls Hi, Kimberly. Glad you had a good time in our homeland. Anyways, the biggest mall in the country is actually the SM City North EDSA Mall after the Annex section was added about 2 years ago to better compete with another one directly facing them at the corner of EDSA & North Avenue called the Trinoma Mall which is owned by Ayala Land. Overall, it now has as gross floor area of 425,000 sq. m. Incidentally, SM North EDSA was the first mall in the Philippines constructed back in the mid-80's. Last time I checked, it could be anywhere from 3rd to 5th in the world rankings.
How I became Kijimuna Hi,Let me introduce myself,My name is Kijimuna,Now you might think that is strange and how can kijimuna really be writing this,But its true.I really am Kijimuna,and you can see me every day in Japan, Okinawa on Kokusaido-ri street, Wrestling for Okinawa Pro Wrestling.
I came to Okinawa to wrestle for Okinawa Pro Wrestling owned by Pro wrestler Super Delfin, and he wanted me to become Kijimuna.
The night before my first match I was sleeping and woke up at 4am gasping for air and feeling presure on my chest like somthing was pressing down onto it.
It was then i got a quick look at Kijimuna in my room and remembering the storys of Kijimuna's tricks I read on the Internet of him sleeping on Humans chests and stoping them breathing as a joke.
He was doing this to me,I really couldnt believe it,as I only thought Kijimuna was just a story.
But He is more than a story.Kijimuna is real and he told me that He was Happy with me to become Kijimuna and he would help teach me to Wrestle as Him and become him.
He would Teach me many things.
Now When I put on the Kijimuna mask now I have Kijimuna's spirit with me,and he helps me to think like him and do tricks to the other wrestlers.
I have been Kijimuna for over two years now and wanted to share my story.
If ever you are in Okinawa,please come and visit me and you can watch me wrestle and have a fun time.
I might even give you a wish and make you rich.

Pohang Korea patch I served in 3rd Battalion 8th Marines and spent some time in Pohang in 1998. I bought a patch from the PX on base that said, "If you haven't been to Pohang Korea Shut the fuck up". I would very much like to get another one of these patches for laughs. Can anyone help?
