Mrs. Shimojo and Chief Warrant Officer John Hyatt led the Kinser Elementary School students in making 'senbazuru' for the elementary students of Antilles Elementary School affected by Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico. The students asked the local and military communities to fold hundreds of paper cranes and place them in designated drop boxes around Okinawa, Japan. Senbazuru is a group of 1,000 paper origami paper cranes made of 25 long stands of 40 cranes. The cranes symbolize hope and healing during challenging times. The local and military communities, and students from Germany, donated so many cranes that the Kinser Elementary Students were able to make three senbazuru. (Video by Lance Cpl. Tayler P. Schwamb)

Staff Sgt. Ismael Esconde wanted to make a difference during his six-month unit deployment program to Okinawa, Japan with Headquarters and Service Company, 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment as the substance control officer. He heard about the Legend of 1,000 Cranes and thought it would be a good way to show respect to the hospitals and nursing homes he gifted them to. Esconde is from Los Angeles, California.
