Repost! A time for remembrance. On this day at 11:02 am August 9, 1945 Japanese time, the Nagasaki bomb was released.

I mention it because our own USA representatives refused to honor the remembrance in Nagasaki. 😞

"Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it".

Ok trolls! Your hate for the Japanese has forced me to make the old post private. Yet you just insured that I will recreate this post EVERY YEAR on August 9th, so everyone can see your hatred and the necessity of such MEMORIALS!

THIS WAS A MEMORIAL! YOU WOULD TRASH A GRAVE YARD TO SUIT YOUR PURPOSE!

Go ahead and trash this! I just won't respond!

I am going to Nagasaki in around two weeks, I am not sure how I will feel to be honest, a very humbling experience I would imagine

After all is said and done, Japan is one of our strongest allies.

They even gave us a magnificent icon of the atomic age: Gojira (Godzilla in the US).

The '54 film Gojira, was made just 9 years after the bombings. It is a dark film and a warning to the world of further weapons testing. Sadly, the world did not heed the warning.

A very sad day, but unfortunately the goal of war is to win, and the experts agree that lives were saved in the long run.
