東日本大震災。
ご遺体すら見つかっていない犠牲者がまだ三千数百名おられます。
津波のために家族全員、親戚までもが亡くなった例も多い。
多くの若き自衛隊員が早い段階で動員され、被災者の救援と遺体の捜索に当たりました。
彼らは トラウマになって当然の惨状の中で、無数の遺体と間近に接し「処理」をしただけでなく、放射能被曝もしています。
精神面・肉体面の両方で今後その影響が出るのではないかと私は心配をしております。
国はしっかりとそのケアもして欲しいと思いますね。

感極まって台詞になるパターン。
※音悪し
Upon Clairette’s move to Capitol Records, her records were produced by Jim Economides and Stu Phillips with Jimmie Haskel and Stu Phillips providing the arrangements. It was there where she would record some wonderful tracks most notably,’Ev’rywhere’ and’It’s Happening To Me’ on which Clairette’s maturing voice was surrounded by a studio full of musicians and background singers. There was nearly a year gap between her final Capitol single issued in October 1964 and her last known single release on Colpix Records issued in January 1966.
In 2013, when looking at the black & white photo of herself taken in 1963, Clairette Clementino stated, “…..I remember clearly that photo shoot in an office in the round Capitol Records building. JUST A BABY!!! lol!!”
Today Clairette is an energetic, happily married mother of five grown children living the good life in Northern California.
