U.S. Air Force Airmen assigned to the 374th Airlift Wing participated in the annual B-29 Memorial Ceremony at Sengen Shrine in Shizuoka, Japan, June 20, 2026. The ceremony honors the lives lost during a midair collision between two U.S. Army Air Forces B-29 bombers over Shizuoka on June 20, 1945, and the approximately 2,000 Japanese civilians who perished during the bombing raid. The ceremony, held each year since 1972, commemorates a shared history of tragedy and reconciliation, bringing together local residents and U.S. service members to remember the fallen, strengthen the U.S.-Japan alliance and reaffirm a mutual commitment to peace and friendship for future generations.
