A Japan Ground Self Defense Force Soldier and Cpl. Ryan M. Reuscher salute each other out of mutual respect and gratitude April 19, at Hakusui Sports Park, Kyushu Island, Japan. Earlier that day, U.S. Marines with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 265 (Reinforced), 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit took off from Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni and landed aboard the JS Hyuga in order to load supplies for the residents of the Island of Kyushu.  The 31st MEU, based in Okinawa, is the only continually forward-deployed MEU and remains the Marine Corps' force-in-readiness in the Asia-Pacific region. Reuscher is a Kansas City, Missouri native who currently serves as an MV-22B crew chief. (Photo by U.S. Marine Sgt. Royce Dorman)
