Remembering the Fallen

Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Kenneth Hauck pours bourbon over the B-29 Memorial during a ceremony in Mount Shizuhata, Japan, June 29, 2024. The service honors the victims of a midair collision of two B-29 Superfortress aircraft during a bombing run in World War II. U.S. troops, members of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force and local residents have gathered each year to remember the fallen since 1972.
