I am alive because of Harry S Truman’s decision.
Grandpa had orders to head to the Pacific ...........
Thank You President Truman
Amen! My dad was on a PT boat and as one of the “expendables” he certainly did better than if we had been forced to invade Japan to finish the war.
One of a liberal’s favorite games is to judge something that happened years and years, or even centuries, ago by today's standards.
I read the statement Truman made when he announced that we had used an atomic weapon on our enemy. I can assure you it has a very different meaning and impact on one who prayed daily for the safe return of someone in that war against Japan and one who has never known war, any war, let alone the savagery of that particular enemy.
I am still distressed by the treatment that's been given the Enola Gay by the Smithsonian.
I too would love to hear Obama expound on the decision to use those bombs on those cities.
Two of my uncles in The Corps toast Truman every Thanksgiving for still being alive.
Wonderful men. Thank you Harry
