Your K38 Every Day Hero commendation reads as follows;
Whereas, On Friday March 11, an magnitude 9.0 earthquake struck off the coast of Japan. One of the most powerful earthquakes recorded in modern history triggered extremely destructive tsunami waves up to 40.5 meters (133 ft.) in Miyako, Iwate, and Tōhoku. In some areas the tsunami waves traveled up to 10 km (6 miles) inland.
Whereas, subsequent aftershocks created additional tsunami alerts throughout Japan and the Pacific Rim. The significance of the earthquake moved Honshu 2.4 m (8 ft) east and shifted the Earth on its axis by estimates of between 10 cm (4 in) and 25 cm (10 in).
Whereas, Mr. Imazaki and an employee of his company at Higashi Nippon Marina, perceived imminent danger for those around him in the aftermath of the swirling tsunami flood waters, he took immediate and decisive action. Using a Personal Water Craft, Mr. Imazaki rescued hundreds of people stranded during the critical hours in the aftermath of the Tōhoku tsunami debris laden waters.
Whereas, Mr. Imazaki acted above and beyond with heroic actions, taken with little or no regard for your own safety, were directly responsible for saving the lives of hundreds of Japanese people in shallow waters and into the night.
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved, that K38 International commends you, Mr. Imazaki, and presents you with the K38 Phoenix Award for Lifesaving for the heroism of your unselfish actions.

The award will be presented at our 8th Annual K38 International PWC Safety Summit at the City of Lake Havasu Arizona during the IJSBA Parade of Nations with host Kay Sykes. October 6th, 2011 at 8:30 PM
The Phoenix has long been presented as a symbol of rebirth and renewal. This is the most prestigious Lifesaving award from K38 Rescue International. It is inspired by the Phoenix Patriot Foundation and their dedication towards serving those injured on the battlefield to reintegrate into a new life. We award it to those individuals who have assisted in transforming a difficult situation in the lives of others, and in themselves finding the courage to do so.
