We had a delightful visit at Columbia River Maritime Museum on June 26th. Peggy and her friend drove down from Woodland, Washington to personally deliver her father's Yosegaki Hinomaru flag, which he acquired during World War II while serving in the Navy. Additionally, we had the pleasure of meeting Karen, the Executive Director of the Northwest Nikkei Museum in Seattle, who also traveled to Astoria to hand-deliver two flags. We truly enjoy meeting the dedicated individuals who make the journey to personally deliver these cherished items.
