Presidential Message on the 80th Anniversary of the Battle of Okinawa

The White House commemorates the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Okinawa, a "brutal and blood-soaked triumph" and the costliest victory in the Pacific Theater of World War II. On April 1, 1945, American forces faced the "Typhoon of Steel," enduring relentless attacks and psychological torment for nearly three months. Over 180,000 American service members secured Okinawa Island, but more than 12,000 perished, with tens of thousands more wounded. The battle demonstrated the Japanese resistance and the high cost of victory.

The commemoration honors the "grit, courage, and unwavering tenacity" of the American warriors and their contribution to the Allied victory. It acknowledges the alliance with Japan forged after the conflict, and also mentions the Cornerstone of Peace monument which serves as a reminder of the tragedy of war. The White House pays tribute to the "fearless young warriors who endured unimaginable devastation" and sacrificed their lives for freedom, sovereignty, and human dignity.
