69 years ago today the US dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan. Three days later another bomb was dropped on Nagasaki...a few days later the war was over. I think it is important to remember these types of events, not because of the death and destruction they brought, but because they are an important part of our nation's history. About 500 World War 2 veterans leave us every day...it won't be long before none remain. If you know of any veterans from that era, take some time to visit with them and listen to their stories...you will learn things that are not in books or on the web.
Just last week the last remaining crew member from the Enola Gay passed away...
