Most Americans DON’T EVEN KNOW this. Japan will scream it forever: During Operation Tomodachi, YOUR sailors gave up their OWN hot showers. Their OWN meals. Their OWN beds. On THEIR OWN ships. So that freezing Japanese strangers could feel warm water and eat hot food. WHO DOES THAT?! America does. THAT’S who you are at your best. And 125 million Japanese saw it with our own eyes. HAPPY 250th BIRTHDAY!!! 🇺🇸🔥 We love you.
