Candles lit by local volunteers and U.S. Navy Sailors stationed on Okinawa spell out the Japanese symbols for “peace” during a volunteer candle lighting event at Peace Memorial Park in Itoman, Okinawa, Japan, June 22, 2025. Held on the eve of Okinawa Memorial Day, the event marked the 80th anniversary of the 1945 Battle of Okinawa, honoring more than 200,000 lives lost and strengthening ties between the U.S. Navy and the local community.
