 Members of Salsa Boas, Sailors, Koryu, or Exchange Program met up on the soccer field to kick start the summer. It was a lot of fun. We had a great time coming here today and I'm thankful for the volunteers and the opportunity to represent the U.S. Navy. For this game, kicking a ball around affects more than just the score. It allows the two navies just to come out and to have fun with each other and to better correlate our relationship with one another. So it's a great opportunity for us to do so and to get to know one another as well as we work together. To keep the alliance and security strong in the Pacific, the Salsa Boas Sailors Koryu Program plans to continue events that strengthen local bonds.
