My Ambassador


Yay for Tyler being nominated as a student ambassador with People to People. Next summer, he'll tour Japan for two weeks. Such a wonderful opportunity. In this picture, he's holding a flag captured by his grandfather's cousin during WWII in the Battle of Guadalcanal. We're researching the flag in an effort to return it to the soldier's family. Thus far, we know the soldier's name is Iwazo Ousaka. It would be incredible for Tyler to return it on his trip. If not, he'll present it to government officials in Tokyo as a gesture of good will. Either way, it's equally moving in my book.
