I was there twice, by the time the below occurred, I'd been gone the second time for 6 years.


"Airmen of the 432d Civil Engineer Squadron prepare a World War II-era, M-65 bomb for removal from the construction site of the new base hospital at Misawa Air Base on July 29, 1991. (U.S. Air Force historical photo)"

"July 29, 1991: Japanese construction workers discovered a 1,000 pound, unexploded U.S. M-65 bomb from World War II during the excavation for the foundation of the new hospital facility. Security Force Airmen evacuated the area and redirected traffic until the Explosive Ordinance Disposal Airmen could identify and defuse the explosive device. U.S. Navy aircraft dropped the bomb on Misawa Air Base on either July 14 or August 8, 1945. See Northern Light, August 2, 1991."

https://www.stripes.com/news/misawa-aims-to-turn-rediscovered-wwii-era-bunker-into-museum-1.145686





Quote:
MISAWA AIR BASE, Japan — A possible World War II-era bunker that survived the intense U.S. bombing of the area more than 60 years ago might be turned into a museum, if base officials have their way.

Richard Clark, 35th Fighter Wing historian, said he was going to look at a used car and the owner mentioned that two of his troops had stumbled across the bunker in a wooded area on Misawa, home to the Japanese Imperial Navy during the war. Clark immediately went to the site, which was buried in the woods.

“I felt like Indiana Jones climbing down into the pit,” he joked. He said he was amazed at the condition of the 18-foot-long, 13-foot-wide cement bunker, which had a 10-foot-high, arched metal roof.

It was quickly obvious that it had been “discovered” at some point years ago. Old Budweiser beer cans litter the bunker, a lantern dangles from the ceiling and a musty carpet is spread across the floor. Clark said the beer cans appear to date to the 1970s and troops might have once used the bunker “as a hang-out place.”

But, “we’ve rediscovered it,” he said.

We had a little store called "Klopps" right at the entrance to our neighborhood in Norfolk. Rode our bikes there and bought candy and sodas. Back then one of the most exciting things for us was trying to decide which candy to buy that day because there were so many good ones to choose from!
