MARINE CORPS AIR STATION IWAKUNI, Japan - Mikan from Suo-Oshima Island are presented to students from Matthew C. Perry Elementary School during the annual Mikan Presentation at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, Jan. 19, 2023. The presentation is an annual event, during which farmers and distributors from Suo-Oshima Island give students mikans, a winter seasonal fruit and symbol of the island. Students show their appreciation by creating personalized gift bags and providing a performance by the school’s choir for the distinguished guests. This event serves as a bridge between the local community and the air station to strengthen both communities’ bond as neighbors. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Isaac Orozco)
