Some amazing pics from the link. I was just reading the book 'Hiroshima' last week, so this is quite timely and reminds us of a war that very few still living today were actually a part of.

to our remaining few WWII veterans for their sacrifices.

Really no different than gas chambers. Tragic.

It's horrible and a tragedy that it had to happen, especially to the civilian populations of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but I still think it was the right decision to go with to bring a quick, decisive, and least cost of life end to the war.

Thanks for posting the link WT, many of those pictures I had never seen.

I'm saddened in looking at these pictures and knowing that countries still have nukes and have not learned from the past.
