4月22日〜25日にかけて、日本遺族会の水落会長と重井氏が、当団体の本拠地である米国オレゴン州を訪問され、各種関係者および当団体役員と協議を行いました。戦後80年目を迎える本年、双方が理解と協力のもと、遺霊品の返還を通じて友好と平和の促進、そしてその理念を次世代へ引き継いでいくことを改めて確認いたしました。
また、当団体本部事務所では、ご遺族が判明した軍事郵便ハガキ23枚と日章旗2枚を、レックスから水落会長へ直接手渡しました。
皆様の温かいご支援とご協力に、心より感謝申し上げます。

From April 22 to 25, Chairman Mizuochi and Mr. Shigei of the Japan War-Bereaved Families Association visited our headquarters in Oregon, USA. During their visit, they held discussions with various representatives, partners and members of our organization.
As we mark the 80th year since the end of WW2, both parties reaffirmed their mutual understanding and commitment to working together to promote friendship and peace through the return of wartime artifacts (Non-Biological Human Remains), while ensuring that these values are passed on to the next generation.
At our headquarters, 23 military postcards and 2 Yosegaki Hinomaru flags, for which the families of the original owners have been identified, were formally handed over from Rex to Chairman Mizuochi.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude for your continued support!
