The queen’s wave
U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Taryn Mendoza, the 28th Annual American Day queen and an allergy and immunization technicians with the 35th Medical Operations Squadron, smiles and waves as she walks by attendees during the parade in Misawa City, Japan, June 5, 2016. More than 80,000 attendees from across the Aomori Prefecture traveled to Misawa City to enjoy American and Japanese culture. Serving as the American Day queen is a two-year honor requiring applicants to compete in numerous events testing their merit and propensity as a queen. Mendoza said she’s truly humbled to have been a part of the event. She hails from Pocatello, Idaho. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Benjamin W. Stratton)
