SUGGESTED LEAD:
The American Red Cross has brought care to the military and their families for 130 years. Petty Officer Lorelei Vander Griend reports from Yokota Air Base where Red Cross volunteers took to the streets…
SUGGESTED TAG:
In 2016, Japanese locals volunteered 11,441 hours of their time to Red Cross.
Reporter:
The American Red Cross spent the day thanking their dedicated Japanese volunteers for all the support they’ve given…
SB: Annabelle Moore:
So today is in honor of the 2011 earthquake and tsunami that happened in Japan. Every year since then, American Red Cross and Japanese Red Cross have gotten together for a walk of remembrance just to show honor and respect to Japan and everyone who experienced that.
Reporter:
… Even though they’re the same organization, the Japanese and Americans do things differently…
SB: Annabelle Moore:
Being overseas, you know, they’re really hosts to us, and so it’s awesome just to continue our friendship. Japanese Red Cross does things different than American Red Cross does, and so together we can learn, get new skills, share stories, plus you get to practice your Japanese skills.
Reporter:
... Working together with the Japanese promotes friendship. Petty Officer Lorelei Vander Griend, Yokota Air Base, Japan…
