Thank you for doing this AMA Mr. Mace! It's always a pleasure to be able to ask veterans about their wartime experiences. That said, did you ever interact personally with civilians on Okinawa? One theme I've seen is that Jap civilians on the island were used as human bombs, asking Marines for help, only to detonate their explosives when a group of Marines came near.

After the surrender of the Japanese, were you posted to the Jap home islands, or were you immediately sent home?
