Today I was driving back through Pennsylvania to my son's apprenticeship, and very much enjoyed the views of the mountains. 
I got a picture of some cows graizing in the cool afternoon. 
Driving was dangerous at some points. It was an overcast day, lots of rain in the mountains. 
I astonished to pay my respects, offer a small prayer and take a picture for my Ameba blog. I wanted to show my Japanese readers that we do honor our Japanese-American soldiers. It is a statue carved out of a huge tree that shows a Japanese-American soldier carrying another wounded soldier despite great hardship. It is a very honorable memorial. 
Stay safe and cool in Japan! 
Cheers,
Kris
