U.S. Marine Corps, Navy and Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force leaders from Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Iwakuni, local Japanese leaders and residents look on as "The President’s Own” United States Marine Band perform at the Yamaguchi Prefectural Culture Hall Sinfonia Iwakuni in Iwakuni City, Japan, May 19, 2019. Nearly 1,200 Japanese locals and MCAS Iwakuni residents attended the concert. The centuries-old musical group rarely travels outside of the United States and has never before visited Japan. The last time the band performed internationally was 2001 in Switzerland, making this trip truly historic and unique. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Andrew Jones)
