Hi,
I am interested on getting more informed on this topic and would like to help out in any way possible. I am moving to yokosuka by the end of the month but do not know Japanese yet. Please let me know how I can help.
Thank You,
Naomi Mahaffey

I am currently and Active Duty Marine and I have been station in Okinawa and Iwakuni Japan, and have seen this happen to a many of Marines. I am also a current Student attending George Mason University in Fairfax, Va. I am actually doing a government paper on this topic, because I find it disconcerting that Fathers are being left behind because of Japan’s unreasonable ways. They want to hide their people behind a cloud of law, that hinders all, I know Japan will soon sign the Hague Convention, but we will see how that goes. With my research, I keep my Marine buddies informed and up to date. Because I truly believe that they need to be informed, regardless what Japan is currently doing, or they can easily find themselves in a similar situation. My thoughts go out to all of those Fathers that are torn from their kids as I can see that they are truly Hurt to the Core of who they are, as they should be. I just hope Justice will be brought to the door step of all that violated. Can anyone say Fish Heads and Rice.
