 Sailors from Guided Missile Destroyer, USS Fitzgerald, volunteered to spend time with students at Innozawa Elementary School for a community relations project. Today we're doing a relations comrade with the Japanese school children in support of the Shimoda Festival to celebrate the black ship arrival in Japan. The festival commemorates not only the beginning of open trade between Japan and the U.S., but the friendship the two nations share. The sailors retreated to a singing performance and were able to interact with the kids in several activities. We got to play a lot of fun games with them, a lot of the things we've never actually seen before. Some of those games included a grouping game where you have to get as many people in your group as shown on a card on stage and rock paper scissors. After the games, they finished out the day by joining in the age-old Japanese tradition of origami, petty officer Brian M. Brooks, Shimoda, Japan.
