The students had a unique opportunity to stay on the Mighty Mo, explore its history, and engage in interactive activities.<\/p>\n<p>This encampment was made possible by the <a style=\"color: #00ffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.niea.or.jp\/\"><strong>Nagaoka City International Exchange Foundation (NIEA)<\/strong><\/a>, which has been sending seventh graders on a Hawaii Study Tour since 2013. Nagaoka City and Honolulu have shared a sister-city agreement since 2015, supported by Ed Hawkins, former Director of Economic Development under Mayor Caldwell and past President of the Japan-America Society (JASH), a longtime advocate for this cultural exchange. These student exchanges emphasize focus on peace studies\u2014Honolulu experienced the Pearl Harbor attack in 1941, while Nagaoka endured an air raid in 1945. Through this program, students learn about each other\u2019s history and share their perspectives.<\/p>\n<p>2025 marks the second year of this blended student encampment on the Missouri, and we look forward to continuing this meaningful tradition for years to come!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"color: #00ffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/ussmissouri.org\/education\">Learn More About Our Education Programs<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we\u2019d like to share an article on the USS Missouri memorial\u2019s monthly newsletter \u201cScuttlebutt\u201d January 2025 issue, highlighting the Nagaoka student\u2019s study tour to Hawaii!\u00a0 As in previous years, HGEF had the honor of coordinating their trip to our island.
