description: Far removed from the Hollywood scene, this is what combat was really like. Starting out with 252 men in our company, there were only 36 of us still alive on the morning of April 27th, 1945. We were ordered to scout the top of the Urasoe-Maeda escarpment. As Chief Sitting Bull said ad the battle of the Little Big Horn - "This is a good day to die." Centurion King was my radio call sign during the Battle for Okinawa. I was one of the lucky ones that survived the war. The fact that I did not die on the escarpment and have lived to tell this story is nothing short of a miracle.
