U.S. Ambassador to Japan, George Glass, to Represent United States at Hiroshima and Nagasaki Peace Memorial Ceremonies
Tokyo, Japan – August 4, 2025 – The United States Embassy in Japan is pleased to announce that Ambassador George Glass will represent the U.S. government at the upcoming Peace Memorial Ceremonies in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This significant participation underscores the enduring commitment of the United States to peace and to honoring the victims of the atomic bombings.
Ambassador Glass’s attendance at these solemn occasions signifies a continuation of the United States’ dedication to remembering the past and working towards a future free from nuclear weapons. The ceremonies in Hiroshima and Nagasaki are profoundly important events that serve as powerful reminders of the devastating consequences of war and the imperative of global peace.
The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Ceremony, traditionally held on August 6th, commemorates the atomic bombing of the city in 1945. The Nagasaki Peace Memorial Ceremony, observed on August 9th, marks the second atomic bombing. Both events are deeply moving occasions where survivors, government officials, and citizens from around the world gather to pray for the souls of the departed, express solidarity with survivors, and renew their commitment to peace.
Ambassador Glass’s presence, as the representative of the United States, is a tangible expression of the deep respect and empathy the American people hold for the victims and survivors of these tragic events. It also reflects the United States’ ongoing efforts to promote nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation, working collaboratively with international partners to build a more secure and peaceful world.
The U.S. Embassy in Japan looks forward to Ambassador Glass’s participation, which serves as a testament to the strong relationship between the United States and Japan and a shared aspiration for a world where such devastation never occurs again.
