Thank you USA!
Hi. I live in Japan. I didn't experienced tsunami because I am living Nagoya city where is 500 km away from Fukushima. Some of my relatives were killed by tsunami but that is not my point of this post.
My point is that I would like to thank ten thousands of courageous United States soldiers who have been saving and are saving a lot of Japanese right now when I am writing this. Your Ambassador Roos is a great guy and has been informing us about their activities via twitter. III Marine Expeditionary Force is incredibly speedy and powerful in executing "Operation Tomodachi". One day one helicopter of III MEF suddenly landed on one small wrecked and isolated town in Miyagi prefacture. The crew from the helicopter handed a bunch of the foods, drinks, blankets, etc to the people of this town. The pilot got into the cockpit again. He smiled, waved and accelerated the engine and the helicopter flew away to the next wrecked town. The people of the town were very surprised and were staggered about this most unexpected incident.That was the very countryside town and I think it might be the first time for some of them to see the American guys. I saw this in Japanese TV news. This must be just a piece of the whole operation. I believe the III Marine Expeditionary Force had played a great roll for saving a lot of Japanese lives at the very hard times right after when the tsunami'd gone. I don't surprise if you hadn't heard about this kind of news because at the very beginning of this disaster, there were no press, no TV crews to report the operations. I am embarrassed because our stupid prime minister Naoto Kan still seems not to express thanks publicly to US people and US government. He is a bossy chicken, the worst prime minister of all time(I hate his party). This disaster upset him and led him to panic. What a shame. I would like to let all you know that a lot of Japanese people thank USA, especially the people of disaster area. They don't have PCs, twitter accounts, facebook pages nor smart phones and almost of them don't understand English BUT theyre fully thankful to US people. As for me, I cannot possibly put my thanks into words because my poor English is not enough to do so. Thank you USA! Yoshifumi Honda 1991 ZR-1 |
