Omori POW Camp Visit, Heiwajima (Patreon)

Ōmori POW Camp, Tokyo Visit | Heiwajima

Ōmori POW Camp was brutal. It’s gone now, renamed something beautiful - Peace Island (Heiwajima) - but we should pay respects to those we’ve lost. Japan and the USA and the best of friends now and this gives me great warmth that much good came from the sacrifices of so many. ★ Map: Heiwajima Kannon 平和観音 (Spot of the former Omori POW Camp) https://goo.gl/maps/ivuHakj1yHw7Uwe26 Resource: http://www.mansell.com/pow_resources/camplists/tokyo/omori/omori.html Thank you to the many veterans who asked me to visit for them.
