My husband has just heard from a Japanese colleague, Dr. Hiroyuki Fujita 藤田 浩之 理学博士（物理学）
Dr. Fujita’s family sustained injuries and property damage but they’re alive and safe now. He has asked friends and colleagues to post this message on our websites. You may cut and paste it freely:
がんばれ、日本！
がんばれ、東北！
アメリカの友達から！
This says, “Don’t give up, Japan! Don’t give up, Tohoku! From your friends in America!”
(Tohoku is the region directly impacted by this disaster.)
