Email From Japan

Most of you know our parent company PLUS Corporation is in Tokyo, Japan. Many have asked about my fellow co-workers (friends) in Japan. They are all ok and business is going along as normal as they can. They have black-outs (power outages) every now and then, along with the changing bus schedule.

Last week we received an email from on of our contacts. It was so sweet I thought I would share it.

It really puts things into perspective and actually brought me to tears.

*The english is a little choppy but you get the idea.

Subject: One of the US great support to the people in the disaster regions

Dear Joe-san and all friends at PCA,

How are you?

I am very glad to share this great great news with you and all friends at PCA.

After the earthquake, I watch TV news everyday and I was so impressed the one last night. USS Ronald Reagan is now off shore of the disaster region and they have been supporting relief efforts under the "Operation TOMODACHI (friend)". So the flight deck is like a distribution center of food and water company. The news introduced that one of the helicopters left the carrier to delivery food and water to the poeple. But the crew were not told any destinations, so they were looking for reasonable points from the upper air that seemed to be still isolated because of disconnection of roads. The helicoper delivered 17 places on the day and one of them was an elementary school which became an evacuation place. People there bowed so deeply and took hands of the crew with shedding tears. The young crew member smiled and looked so satisfied with his duty. Of course, I was moved to tears!　And I felt that it was my honor to work together with PCA people.

The accident of the nuclear power complex has not been resolved yet and there is also a huge problem in Libya. Under such circumstances, US military is giving us a lot of support. If you have any US military members among your family, relatives and friends, it would be greatly appreciated to send them our gratitude and best regards.

Sincerely yours,

Kiyonori Nakano of PLUS Furniture
