Presidential Message on the 80th Anniversary of the Battle of Okinawa – The White House
SHARE

Today marks the 80th anniversary of a pivotal moment in history, when American forces emerged victorious from the harrowing depths of the Battle of Okinawa, a clash that stands as the most costly triumph in the Pacific Theater of World War II.

On April 1, 1945, U.S. troops approached Okinawa with the expectation of a fierce but relatively swift engagement aimed at securing the island as a critical airbase for Allied operations. Instead, they encountered what would later be dubbed the “Typhoon of Steel.” This involved not only relentless kamikaze assaults from both air and sea but also fierce resistance from Japanese soldiers entrenched in a network of caves and tunnels, prepared to fight to their last breath. For weeks, American Soldiers, Marines, and Sailors endured a prolonged struggle characterized by brutal ambushes amidst rain and mud, along with unimaginable psychological strain. The Battle of Okinawa starkly illustrated that the Japanese forces, cornered yet resolute, would not capitulate without an exorbitant toll in lives.

Over nearly three grueling months, more than 180,000 American service members faced horrific conditions to secure Okinawa. By the time the Allies claimed victory on June 22, 1945, over 12,000 Americans had lost their lives, with tens of thousands sustaining injuries. Just months later, on September 2, Japan surrendered unconditionally, bringing an end to what was the bloodiest conflict in human history.

As we reflect on this day, we honor the resilience, bravery, and unwavering determination of every American warrior who confronted unimaginable devastation to lead the Allied forces to victory over imperialism. Their sacrifices, along with those of their comrades, serve as a testament to the selflessness and fortitude of their generation—the Greatest Generation. The legacy of their sacrifices is embodied in our alliance with Japan, forged in the aftermath of that brutal conflict, now a symbol of our shared commitment to freedom and openness, lighting the way for the world. In southern Okinawa, the Cornerstone of Peace monument stands on the site where the fighting ceased, serving as a poignant reminder of the shared tragedies wrought by war and the profound loss of life that resonates through every generation. Each American name etched into that black granite wall is immortalized as a champion of valor, liberty, and sacrifice.
