U.S. Air Force Airmen assigned to the 18th Munitions Squadron, clean up overgrown vegetation surrounding an Okinawan family’s tomb in preparation for Shimi at Kadena Air Base, Japan, April 9, 2025. The vegetation is cleared with care so no damage is done to the tombs in preparation for Shimi, an Okinawan custom to show appreciation to one’s ancestors once a year at the beginning of April.
