Hi everyone,
As most of you probably already know, Craig Arnold is missing. You can find all the information at this Facebook group:

From the group: "An independent expert search and rescue group is on the island looking
for Craig until the 9th, but the official search by Japanese
authorities has been called off. They believe that military assets
would make the search very efficient and effective, and we hope the
consulate will move forward with the possibility of engaging local US
military/DOD assets in the search at this stage."
There are two simple things you can do to help. One is to contact your congresspeople asking their assistance in encouraging the Fukuoka consulate to engage local US military/DOD assets on the ground in Japan. There are easy instructions for how to contact your senators and what to say to them here:
