Abe, Obama to visit Pearl Harbor

Photo taken Dec. 15, 2016, at the visitors center of the USS Arizona Memorial in Hawaii shows an "orizuru" paper crane, created by Sadako Sasaki who died at age 12 in 1955, 10 years after being exposed to radiation from the U.S. atomic bombing of Hiroshima. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will visit there with U.S. President Barack Obama later in the month to remember those who died in the 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. It is believed in Japan that one's wish will come true if one folds a thousand cranes. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
