Misawa Air Base

@POTUS @StateDept Yesterday’s shooting of former Prime Minister Abe was shocking and saddening. Prime Minister Abe was an outstanding leader of Japan and unwavering ally of the U.S. Our thoughts are with his family, and the people of Japan, as we mourn his loss. V/R Col Richard, 35 FW/CC

I am stunned, outraged, and deeply saddened by the news that my friend Abe Shinzo, former Prime Minister of Japan, was shot and killed. He was a champion of the friendship between our people. The United States stands with Japan in this moment of grief.

We are actively working to ensure our current Misawa AB COVID mitigation policies are aligned with local Japanese government policies. For our Team Members, we ask you observe COVID mitigation measures mentioned by Governor Mimura here: facebook.com/MisawaAirBase/…
