Thank you for doing this documentary and sharing this wonderful island with the world! I was stationed there for 4 years and if I could, I would go back in a heartbeat! As soon as I started the video and heard the music, the memories started rushing back! I hope I can go back again someday but until then, I am glad I found your videos to share the experience with others.
