LOS ANGELES: Japan’s consul general in Los Angeles thanked local rescuers who provided emergency help after last month’s earthquake and tsunami — and urged American tourists to return to his country.
Junichi Ihara voiced Japan’s “sincere gratitude” for the Los Angeles-based rescuers, “one of the first to mobilize and spring into action when the devastating earthquake and subsequent tsunami hit.
“While many people, including those in my office, were still struggling to understand what had just happened, the (team) was already en route,” he told members of the LA County Urban Search and Rescue Team.
