On a small hillock located just off the road up a set of steps surrounded by a fence, at the Buckner memorial site next to the Easley monument.

Col May had been leading his Regiment through several difficult actions on Okinawa since April.  He was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for his actions on the Conical-Sugar Ridge in May 1945. He was killed near the location of this memorial on June 5, 1945; LTG Buckner and BG Easley were also killed near this sport later that same June.
