My grandson, is in the Navy and is stationed in Japan, his parents haven't heard from him, but are taking heart in the announcement that all US troops are accounted for.

Of course, Japan, like every other foreign country, can rail about getting the US troops out but the minute that a natural disaster occurs, call Uncle Sugar.

There will be an out pouring of verbal support from all the UN countries, and they will step back, hold our coat and hand us the shovel.
