| Description: | The Stars and Stripes on Shuri Castle. Marine Lt. Col. R.P. Ross, Jr. plants the American flag on one of the remaining ramparts of ancient Shuri castle on Okinawa. This banner was the same that the first Marine Division raised at Cape Glouster and at Peleliu. The flagpole is a Japanese staff that was battered and bent by American shellfire.
