    Shu Ozawa, center right, and his escort, Cpl. Hunter Smith from the Marine Corps Base Provost Marshal's Office, introduce themselves before heading to see a traffic light, Camp Foster, Okinawa, March 25.
    Ozawa, an elementary school student from Toyama City, Toyama Prefecture, loves traffic lights. He applied to a local broadcasting station in the prefecture to participate in a program called "Granting the Wishes of the Prefecture's Citizens" when he saw a picture of a "hanging traffic light" used at the base on the internet, saying "I want to see a very rare traffic light!" With Camp Foster's full cooperation, this event was realized. The escort Marine happened to speak fluent Japanese.

    富山県富山市の小学生、鷲君は信号機が大好き。ネットでフォスター基地で使われている「吊り下げ式信号機」の写真を見て、「激レアな信号機を見たい!」と県内の地元放送局の「県民の願いを叶える」という番組に応募した。フォスター基地の全面的な協力を得て、実現したこの日、サポートについたスミス伍長はラッキーにも流暢な日本語を話す海兵隊員だった。
