Ed Hensley “Defend America First!” Since: Mar 08 89 Los Angeles	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #4 Jul 18, 2009 While this is a major dissapointment to both Japanese & Torrance H.S. students, there is a strange quirk with the H1N1 virus that causes me to respect the decision to cancel. That quirk is the increased vunerability to this virus, by healthy teenagers. I hope most of the students who missed out on this years trip to Japan can go next year. Meanshile, if the Torrance students do make a 2 day trip to San Diego, may I suggest a visit to the Aircraft Carrier Museum, USS Midway (CV-41), which served as America's forward based CV out of Yokouska, Japan for many years. In any event, have a great summer guys & gals.
