We are pleased to announce that Rex Ziak has been honored with the prestigious Order of the Rising Sun, Gold and Silver Rays by the Government of Japan, in recognition of “Contributed to promoting understanding of Japan in the United States and friendly relations between the two countries.”

We are deeply grateful for the gracious support extended to us. The medal was presented to Rex by Consul General Yuzo Yoshioka of the Consular Office of Japan in Portland, during a ceremony held on March 15 at the Columbia River Maritime Museum in Astoria, Oregon, where the OBON SOCIETY is headquartered.

This honorable award is solely the result of the support and assistance from many people in both Japan and the United States who have supported our organization’s efforts.
While it would be our wish to individually express our gratitude to each and every one of you, we humbly take this opportunity to extend our heartfelt appreciation collectively.
We kindly seek your continued support and cooperation in our future endeavors.
With sincerest gratitude,

Co-founders, OBON SOCIETY
Rex and Keiko Ziak

この度、レックス・ジークがOBONソサエティの活動におきまして「アメリカ合衆国における対日理解の促進及び日本・アメリカ合衆国の友好親善に寄与」した功績として旭日双光章を受章いたしました。

お陰様で令和6年3月15日、オレゴン州アストリアのコロンビア海洋博物館で開催された式典にて在ポートランド領事館の吉岡雄三総領事からレックスへ勲章が授与されました。

この栄誉ある受章はひとえに、当団体の活動を支えてくださいました日米双方多くの皆さまのご支援とサポートがあっての功績です。当団体の活動は、まだまだ道半ばではございますが、これからも、私どもOBONスタッフ一同、感謝の気持ちを持って精進してまいりたいと思います。

本来ですと皆さまお一人お一人にお礼を申し上げたいところですが、この場をお借りして心からの感謝を申し上げます。

今後とも引き続き何卒よろしくお願い申し上げます。
心を込めてお礼まで
