Hundreds of residents of Oshima Island wave farewell
Summary
Hundreds of residents of Oshima Island wave farewell to Marines and Sailors of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, April 6. The Marines and Sailors spent about six days cleaning up debris on parts of the island, during Operation Field Day. The 31st MEU’s involvement is part of the larger Operation Tomodachi, coordinated after a 9.0 earthquake and subsequent tsunami struck Japan causing widespread damage. The 31st MEU remains ready to support its Japanese partners and to provide assistance when called upon. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Garry J. Welch/Released)
