LtGen Joseph Stilwell 1945 - 12/30/2005 03:21:42 PM
I took this photo on Okinawa after Gen Stilwell had been released from Japanese prison camp after 4 years. "Vinegar Joe" as he was known was one tough cookie. He is shown here on his way to be present at the Japanese surrender on board battleship Missouri at Ie Shima ,Sept 1945.
After that we all counted our "points" again and waited to go home. It was a long time since Guadalcanal and we left a lot good guys behind who gave all.
