From left, Dr. Hiroya Sugano and U.S. Air Force Col. Richard McElhaney, 374th Airlift Wing commander, pose for a photo during his visit to Yokota Air Base, Japan, April 9, 2026. After a World War II bombing raid in Shizuoka, Japan, Sugano retrieved a blackened canteen from the wreckage which he now uses in a ceremony to honor both the Japanese citizens and the U.S. service members who passed during the raid.
