00:15.520 --> 00:17.631
more than 20 US soldiers with camps ,

00:17.631 --> 00:19.853
Hamas , better opportunities for single

00:19.853 --> 00:21.631
soldiers , program or boss work

00:21.631 --> 00:23.798
together with about 20 single Japanese

00:23.798 --> 00:25.853
ground Self Defense Force members to

00:25.853 --> 00:25.600
clean up the area surrounding a

00:25.610 --> 00:27.721
historical park on the installation .

00:27.721 --> 00:29.499
Basically , we just had all the

00:29.499 --> 00:31.610
soldiers . It was a bilateral event .

00:31.610 --> 00:33.666
All the soldiers , Japanese soldiers

00:33.666 --> 00:35.943
and people that live here at Camp Zama ,

00:35.943 --> 00:37.888
and we just cleaned up the area of

00:37.888 --> 00:40.054
historic Park . All the monuments that

00:40.054 --> 00:42.166
are here , they're six monuments made

00:42.166 --> 00:44.388
it a beautiful you . The soldiers and J

00:44.388 --> 00:46.443
GSDF members were divided into small

00:46.443 --> 00:48.666
groups . They pulled weeds near a large

00:48.666 --> 00:50.332
torii gate and around several

00:50.332 --> 00:52.443
historical monuments , collected dead

00:52.443 --> 00:54.443
limbs , shoveled mud and swept away

00:54.443 --> 00:56.610
debris as part of their beautification

00:56.610 --> 00:58.554
efforts . It was fun , like it was

00:58.554 --> 01:00.388
still fun . Everybody is able to

01:00.388 --> 01:02.620
communicate , get along . It just It

01:02.620 --> 01:04.842
was a really fun time . I just hope toe

01:04.842 --> 01:07.009
have , like a strong relationship with

01:07.009 --> 01:09.120
them to like do more events like this

01:09.120 --> 01:10.731
and make it easier for us to

01:10.731 --> 01:12.676
communicate back and forth to each

01:12.676 --> 01:14.731
other through like the environment .

01:14.731 --> 01:16.953
Solis Today was a great opportunity for

01:16.953 --> 01:19.176
boss groups to get to know each other's

01:19.176 --> 01:21.420
culture better . Even the a method for

01:21.420 --> 01:23.330
cleaning up the park was slightly

01:23.330 --> 01:25.274
different . We had the same goal .

01:25.274 --> 01:27.820
Overall , I believe that if we interact

01:27.830 --> 01:30.690
more in alarm Wahba each other , we can

01:30.690 --> 01:32.830
deepen mutual understanding of each

01:32.840 --> 01:34.970
other and strengthen our friendship

01:34.980 --> 01:37.147
even more . The cleanup effort was the

01:37.147 --> 01:39.258
first of its kind on the installation

01:39.258 --> 01:41.202
to be hosted bilaterally by single

01:41.202 --> 01:43.424
soldiers and J GSDF members . Something

01:43.424 --> 01:45.647
that would like them to take away is to

01:45.647 --> 01:47.758
always stay involved in the community

01:47.758 --> 01:49.702
and always give that a swell assed

01:49.702 --> 01:51.813
being involved in your boss program .

01:51.813 --> 01:54.036
Because we're such a vital component to

01:54.036 --> 01:55.924
cams on the community and it's so

01:55.924 --> 01:58.036
underutilized . So we definitely want

01:58.036 --> 02:00.147
to spread the word of boss being that

02:00.147 --> 02:02.091
is better opportunities for single

02:02.091 --> 02:04.313
soldiers for single soldiers as well as

02:04.313 --> 02:04.250
geo bachelors and geo bachelorettes .

02:04.390 --> 02:06.557
So we definitely want everybody to get

02:06.557 --> 02:08.779
involved and stayed close because we're

02:08.779 --> 02:10.668
so far away from our families and

02:10.668 --> 02:12.501
especially in times of Kobe , 19

02:12.501 --> 02:14.501
restrictions and we can't really go

02:14.501 --> 02:16.557
that far is really a key and partner

02:16.557 --> 02:18.612
that we stay together as a community

02:18.612 --> 02:20.668
and kind of keep everyone uplifted .
