U.S. Marine Corps Brig. Gen. William Bowers, Marine Corps Installations Pacific commanding general, interacts with Wataru Kikuta, 18 (center), and his father Takeshi and mother Reiko, on Oshima Island, Kesennuma, Japan, March 11, 2021. The Kikuta family’s home and fish shop was completely destroyed by the tsunami, and Marines came to their aid following the disaster, helping them to restart their lives. The family has remained in touch with Marines who helped them 10 years ago. The U.S. response, Operation Tomodachi, would become the largest Japan-U.S. bilateral operation, involving nearly 25,000 U.S. service members that assisted with aid efforts across the affected areas of Japan.
