Statement
Issues: Foreign Aid
Congresswoman Mazie K. Hirono (HI-02) today released the following statement on the anniversary of the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster in Japan:
"Today Hawaii and our nation join with our friends in Japan in remembrance of all the victims of last year's earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster. While this disaster took so much, it did not take the resolve, the courage or the "gaman' or strength of the Japanese people. We in Hawaii and across the U.S. will continue to help them rebuild: from our donations to the launch of the TOMODACHI Initiative that will use educational exchanges with students to deepen the friendship between our countries. It's this investment in the future that will help heal the wounds of March 11, 2011."
