Mr. Brand was in the US Army assigned to Okinawa 1953-1956, (524Th MP Co., which later was changed to 98th MP Bn and later RASP, (Ryukyu Armed Forces Police), as a military Policeman and later changed to a Supply Sergeant.

He returned to Okinawa again in 1966 through 1967 as an S-4 Sergeant, 2nd Log Command in the Machinato Service Area that included 6 months TDY to 1st Log Command in Saigon, Republic Viet Nam. After 22 years of military service and stationed 502nd MI Bn in Korea, he retired. Mr. Brand returned to Okinawa as a civilian in December 1969 for 2 years. For the past 15 - 18 years Mr. Brand visits Okinawa twice a year (April and October). He usually travels space available on military aircraft, but for the last two years he has traveled by commercial aircraft. For those of us who lived and worked on Okinawa in the early days, 50's and 60's, the changes in scenery will be very dramatic! |
