This Thursday marks the 70th anniversary of the World War II battle of Iwo Jima. In this battle, the US landed upon and eventually captured the island. There were devastating casualties on both sides. Over 2000 US service men perished on the first day alone. From this epic battle comes the famous picture of the flag being hoisted on Mount Suribachi. This weekend there were memorials held in which Japanese and American soldiers stood together to honor their fallen heroes. These services are a testament that regardless of the history or differences between two countries or two people, they can choose to live in peace or heiwa together. In the spirit of international fellowship, this Friday, Tom Hawkins will be welcoming a group of students and teachers from Tracy’s Sister City, Memuro, Japan. The group will be on our campus in the morning, participating in classes and eating lunch with our Hawkins students. This is a wonderful learning opportunity for our students as well as the Memuro students to learn about another culture. Kangei!
