00:00.840 --> 00:03.062
All right . So today , see fast and the

00:03.062 --> 00:05.173
J M S D F C P O . A members and along

00:05.173 --> 00:07.080
with veterans participated in our

00:07.080 --> 00:09.340
spring annual hike to the Harrier

00:09.340 --> 00:12.460
transmission towers . We also discussed ,

00:12.840 --> 00:14.951
uh , the historical importance of the

00:14.951 --> 00:17.173
towers and how it impacted the Japanese

00:17.173 --> 00:18.840
community . We rendezvous but

00:18.840 --> 00:20.896
underneath the two oh two expressway

00:20.896 --> 00:22.784
and made our way over the psych I

00:22.784 --> 00:24.729
bridge when we went to the Harrier

00:24.729 --> 00:26.896
transmission room and our transmission

00:26.896 --> 00:28.562
towers . Um , once we got the

00:28.562 --> 00:30.618
transmission tower number three , we

00:30.618 --> 00:32.673
took a small break for a short lunch

00:32.673 --> 00:34.729
and then we made our way back to our

00:34.729 --> 00:34.380
rendezvous point oversight , sky bridge

00:34.380 --> 00:36.547
and the tool to express way the harder

00:36.547 --> 00:38.491
transmission facility was actually

00:38.491 --> 00:40.491
constructed in november of 1918 and

00:40.491 --> 00:42.810
finished construction in 1922 . This

00:42.810 --> 00:44.810
facility was said to have relayed a

00:44.810 --> 00:47.032
message on the attack of Pearl Harbor .

00:47.032 --> 00:49.199
So my favorite part of the hike was my

00:49.199 --> 00:50.866
interaction with our Japanese

00:50.866 --> 00:53.088
counterparts and just simply discussing

00:53.088 --> 00:55.199
the historical importance of the hike

00:55.199 --> 00:57.143
and having a joint lunch with each

00:57.143 --> 00:59.199
other , I expect and anticipate that

00:59.199 --> 01:01.421
this will be an annual thing that we'll

01:01.421 --> 01:03.199
do every year , and I encourage

01:03.199 --> 01:05.254
everyone who hasn't done the hike to

01:05.254 --> 01:05.160
actually participate for years to come .
