    In front of the long-awaited traffic light, Shu Ozawa, left, receives an explanation about the light from his escort, Cpl. Hunter Smith from the Marine Corps Base Provost Marshal's Office, right, Camp Foster, Okinawa, March 25.
    Ozawa, an elementary school student from Toyama City, Toyama Prefecture, loves traffic lights. He applied to a local broadcasting station in the prefecture to participate in a program called "Granting the Wishes of the Prefecture's Citizens" when he saw a picture of a "hanging traffic light" used at the base on the internet, saying "I want to see a very rare traffic light!" With Camp Foster's full cooperation, this event was realized. The escort Marine happened to speak fluent Japanese.
    3月25日、キャンプ・フォスターにて、お目当ての信号機の前で、エスコートの海兵隊太平洋基地憲兵隊のハンター・スミス伍長(右)から信号機の説明を受ける小澤鷲君(左)。
    富山県富山市の小学生、鷲君は信号機が大好き。ネットでフォスター基地で使われている「吊り下げ式信号機」の写真を見て、「激レアな信号機を見たい!」と県内の地元放送局の「県民の願いを叶える」という番組に応募した。フォスター基地の全面的な協力を得て、実現したこの日、サポートについたスミス伍長はラッキーにも流暢な日本語を話す海兵隊員だった。
