Historic WWII flags transfer from Battleship Missouri back to Japan
The USS Missouri Memorial Association, in partnership with the OBON SOCIETY, celebrated a pivotal moment in peace and reconciliation with the formal transfer of custody of three Yosegaki Hinomaru—unique heirlooms created for Japanese servicemen by their parents, family and friends. This event, held on Oct. 3, honored the ongoing unity between the United States and Japan, 79 years after World War II officially ended aboard the USS Missouri.
