U.S. group returns Rising Sun flags to Japan

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe (R) receives a Japanese flag of the Rising Sun from a U.S. couple at his office in Tokyo on Aug. 4, 2015. The flag, returned by Rex (C) and Keiko Ziak, is one of such flags collected by OBON 2015, a U.S.-based group cofounded by Rex to help U.S. veterans return Japanese flags, brought home as souvenirs from World War II battlefields, to bereaved families of Japanese soldiers. The flags are filled with good luck messages from soldiers' families. A total of 70 flags were returned in commemoration of this summer's 70th anniversary of the end of World War II. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
