πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅ Ambassador Katahira visited the National September 11 Memorial & Museum to pay tribute to all those who lost their lives, including the Japanese victims, in the September 11 terrorist attacks.

He was honored to be guided by Mr. Sean Egan, who tragically lost his father on that day. We sincerely thank him for sharing his family's story. May all the victims rest in peace. We must never forget this tragedy and must continue to pass its memory on to future generations.
