Private First Class Jose Berries (right) attempts to take down his opponent, June 10, 2017, during the annual Henoko Okinawa-Style Sumo Tournament, at Mae-No-Hama Field, in Henoko, Okinawa, Japan. During a bout, competitors try to earn points by making their opponent fall into the “dohyo,” or sandy pit, without striking each other or letting go of each other’s belts. The first to gain two points is the victor. Berries is a native of Holyoke, Massachusetts, and a motor vehicle operator with Headquarters Battalion, 3rd Marine Division, III Marine Expeditionary Force. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl.
