Recently I was able to purchase a Japanese Samurai sword, I was interested in it due to the seller stating that it was a pickup by a Marine who fought at Sugar Loaf hill during the battle of Okinawa. Thru reasearch I was able to find out the Marine was a decorated hero of the battle and the sword maker a historical villain. I made up a page for it below, thanks for looking.

Semper Fi,
Bob

They gave the Navy Cross to enlisted men who were still breathing. If he'd gotten killed he'd probably gotten the Congressional. Cool pickup & story.
