OBON SOCIETY was invited to give the keynote address to the annual meeting of the survivors of Bataan. The surviving veterans are too feeble to travel these days, but approximately 60 of their wives, sons, daughters and grandchildren attended to keep their memory alive. We spoke about the love everyone in the world has for their family members and gave examples proving the family never forgets.
On October 11th OBON SOCIETY will fulfill the Return of a Yosegaki Himomaru flag arranged by the American Defender of Bataan and Corregidor Memorial Society in conjunction with the New Mexico National Guard. This will be the first Yosegaki Hinomaru returned to Japan that had previously been on display in a US Military museum.
