Ernie Pyle 1900 - 1945
#23

Hello all, I just wanted to add some pictures I took recently to this topic. I just recently took the ferry from the Motobu port (on Okinawa) to Ie Shima (now Iejima) with the family. One of the first things we saw was the Ernie Pyle monument. It is in a neatly kept plot of land (indeed, there were some locals working on the grounds while we were there). It was very quiet and fitting place for the monument. See all of the pictures here. There are more I will share with you, I just haven't gotten to it just yet.

On the obverse of the monument. The USS Cabot was the first Navy ship he spent time on.
