Description:Easter. Marine Corporal Fenwick H. Dunn gives the candy from his K-rations to an aged woman on Okinawa. The Japanese fled as the Americans landed on Easter morning, abandoning the aged, infirm, and small children. Although neither can understand the other's language, the leatherneck's gesture and the old woman's smile as she raises herself on the stretcher say more. (National Archive 127-GR- BOX 96-116354)
