Groups that I like to visit frequently. Great bunch of people in these 'rooms'!
(in alphabetical order)


Battle of Okinawa Historical Society
A non-profit outfit that covers, obviously, the Battle of Okinawa. Many great photo essays of archaeological projects.
Splendid resource for further research and appreciation of the conflict.

BRATs: Our Journey Home
A documentary about growing up in the military. U.S. military BRATS share intimate memories about their unique childhoods -
growing up on military bases around the world, then struggling to fit into an American lifestyle with which they have little in common.

BRATs: Our Journey Home, on Facebook
A spirited and genial discussion forum for BRATs of all stripe! A lively addition to their website.

California Dragons
A social group of Okinawa high school alumni who live in the SanDiego area and who
meet monthly in SD. It's an open group though and very spirited members even though
not Kubasaki alumni. They can't be too bad - they let me in!

Let's Save the Okinawan traditional houses
HELP! The concrete of construction busine$$ is swallowing the poor Okinawa... More malls for Chinese tourists, infrastructures, resorts and less trees, animals, beaches. Money (for someone) first, nature... what for? We're in danger, if the bad guys will continue building with this rhythm in 50 years there won't be anymore a single traditional house, if not fake ones in entertainment ghettos for tourists. if you care for what Okinawa was and could still be, please join us!

Okinawa Outreach
More of an activist group with some pretty good reporting. I sat in on the group the
first time while I was trying to enhance awareness of the Government of Japan's plans
to ship a bunch of nuclear waste from Fukushima to Okinawa. I started following
closely when the main focus shifted to issues involving plans to base the MV-22 Osprey
at MCAS Futenma in Ginowan.

This is the first Okinawa-related Facebook group that I joined up with and still
enjoy the tremendous comaraderie and good fun among the over-3,300 members.

There are lots more Group pages on Facebook, many of which are related to Okinawa interests.
As I find them and 'eavesdrop' on a few sessions I'll post links to them.
