| Description: | Japanese youngster thumbs a ride on Saipan's beach. With Japanese forces falling back to the northern edge of Saipan, American invaders of the army, Marines, Coast Guard, and navy extended a protective hand to the Japanese women and children they left behind. Here, a friendly Japanese boy makes quick pals with a Marine who seems to be getting a big kick out of giving this youngster a ride. (US Coast Guard Photo #2489, Marine Corps Historical Center). |
