What a wonderful gesture; well done!



Back when I was stationed on Okinawa, I was part of a team that recovered remains and artifacts from the horrendous Battle of Okinawa. Although it didn't happen very often, we all looked forward to those occasions when we could return an artifact...or remains...to a Japanese family (we rarely encountered American artifacts or remains). The families were extremely appreciative, and the gesture engendered lots of good will! So I really understand that this was truly a big deal for all the involved parties.
