RIP Sir.
You helped end more bloodshed in that most horrible war of all time.
Though many revisionists today try to paint the use of the bomb as an evil manifestation of US Industrial military might, those of us who studied History well know that what you did throughout WWII and on August 6th were absolutely necessary and saved millions of additional lives.

Thank you for making our post-war world a safe, stable and prosperous one.

You are right, and people forget the small detail that Nagasaki was necessary because the Japanese refused to even consider surrender, after having several days to see the damage wrought by the first bomb on Hiroshima.

Such was the fanaticism and dedication of the Japanese.

It is not hyperbole to say that avoiding a land invasion of Japan saved a million lives.
