    Cpl. Daniel L. Jean-Paul assists a child with a mallet while pounding rice during a traditional mochi-making event Jan. 8 at Shioya Sub-village Hall in Uruma City, Okinawa, Japan. Wooden mallets were used to pound steamed rice into a stone mortar, transforming the rice into a stretchy and sticky paste, which is used to make rice cakes called mochi. Jean-Paul is a combat correspondent with Headquarters and Support Battalion, Marine Corps Installations Pacific-Marine Corps Base Camp Butler, Japan, and a Pembroke Pines, Florida, native.
