I think it was a damn good thing.

My father was scheduled to be a landing craft driver in the invasion of Japan. There is better than a fair chance that he would have been killed.

I got to meet and thank General Chuck Sweeney who flew "Bock's Car" which dropped the second atomic bomb.

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!

My wife and I got to meet General Tibbets about 15 years ago at an airshow.
