Melissa Jenkins receives a loving kiss from her White German Shepherd, Kasey, on the lawn of the Travis Air Force Base air terminal in California on March 25. Following the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan on March 11, Jenkins and hundreds of family members from Misawa Air Base, Japan, voluntarily relocated to the United States after radiation from crippled Japanese nuclear energy plants was detected in some areas. The evacuation effort was part of Operation Pacific Passage.
