Japanese Children Offer Marine's Parents Comfort
An American family grieving Marine Chip Risoldi received hundreds of letters from Japanese people offering sympathy and support. The Risoldis say Japanese youths and adults wrote kindly messages, many using dictionaries to bridge the language, and some mentioning their new baby Lisa Ann born four days after the funeral. The family used a $25 defense bond sent by Chip to buy a gift for the baby.
