Operation Tomodach
US Military provided help in the wake of earthquake in Japan.
'Tomodach' means a friend. The commander of mission said United States
and Japan are always close relations each other.
On March 17, 2011, the president visited the Japanese embassy in Washington,
D.C. to write in the condolence book.
My heart goes out to the people of Japan during this enormous tragedy.
Please know that America will
always stand by one of its greatest allies during this time of need. Because of the strength andwisdom
of its people, we know that Japan will recover, and indeed will emerge
stronger than ever. And as it
recovers, the memory of those who have been lost will remain in our hearts,
and will serve only to
strengthen the relationship between our two countries. May God bless the
people of Japan.

U.S. Troops, Civilians Acted to help Japan's Quake-Tsunami Damages.
U.S. troops and civilian teams have responded to the Japanese government's
request to help distribute humani-
tarian aid supplies and search for survivors in Japan after the massive 9.0 earthquake and power tsunami
occurred on March 11, 2011.
Supplies such as food, water and even diapers have come from as far away
as the U.S. east coast aboard cargo
planes destined for U.S. military bases in Japan. Supplies have then been
transferred by helicopter to some of
the hardest hit areas along the northeastern coast of the country. Others
have taken part in airborne search and
rescue missions, on the lookout for potential survivors. Civilian search
and rescue teams from the states of Virginia
and California, also took part. The overall management of the mission is
being conducted by U.S. government
agencies, including the United States.
Some of the military transport vehicles on display have included various
helicopters, including the HH-60H, Sea
Hawk helicopter, the MH-60S SeaHak helicopter, and the CH-46E SeaKnight
helicopter, the C-17 cargo carrier,
and MC-130H Combat Talon II.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton visited the Japanese embassy in Washington, DC to sign the
condolence book for the victims of the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear
disaster. On March22, the Secretary
spent numerous minutes writing in the book in silence. Her written note
said:
At a time of unprecedented disaster, there are sympathy and solidarity
for the Japanese people from the
American people. Our prayers, thoughts and hearts are with you and in the
months and years ahead as
you rebuild and recover. However, one thing that shines through is the resilient spirit of Japan, which is
an inspiration to us all. The United States is your friend, partner, and
ally. We will stand with you now and
into the future. God blesses Japan.
This has been an unprecedented disaster, but it has provoked an unprecedented
show of resilience by
the Japanese people. Clinton said on camera afterwards, we will be with Japan as you recover and rebuild,
and we will stand with you in the months and years ahead.
