Ambassador to Japan Caroline Kennedy and Lance Cpl. Keven Romero interact with students during a service member-taught English class June 22 aboard Camp Schwab, Okinawa, Japan. For the past 14 years, Marines aboard Camp Schwab have been teaching children and young adults basic grammar and commonly used words for communication. According to Romero, they not only learned from and taught their Okinawan neighbors, but they continue to build on a bond 71 years in the making. Romero is a warehouse clerk with Combat Assault Battalion, 3rd Marine Division, III Marine Expeditionary Force.
