RIP General Tibbets. Thank you and God for your service which, in all probability, saved my father's life as he was preparing for the invasion of Japan, and allowed myself and my borthers and our families to be born into this world as Americans, and citizens of the freest and most blessed nation on earth.

God's blessings of peace and comfort to your family and loved ones.

Ditto my dad. He had flown in the CBI, survived a crash landing and had mostly recovered from burns from that incident. He was expecting another tap on the shoulder, at age 39.

Same for my dad who was on a ship headed across the Pacific when they dropped the bomb, and my uncles who were being re-deployed from the States and European theater to the Pacific.
