December 7th was the anniversary of Pearl Harbor. It was a very surreal experience to be here under the circumstances. As a result of that conflict, Japan’s army was forced to disband and they are not allowed to rebuild it. That is why the US military is here; to secure and defend Japan in the absence of their military. Without Pearl Harbor there would be no reason for us to be here at all. Surprisingly the people here are nothing but generous and kind to us.
It’s inspiring to see how two cultures can be so divided and yet come together to co-existence so well. Perhaps we can have a Middle East rendezvous in Grace Land sometime soon to resolve some issues. Here’s to hoping.
