Rest in Peace, Colonel Tibbets.
Your actions saved a million American lives, and at least fifteen million Japanese lives by averting an invasion that would have degenerated into an ‘extermination’ ala Okinawa, Tarawa, Iwo Jima.
You never once backed down from your detractors, most of whom were born well after December 7th, 1941. You didn’t seek glory, you just did your duty.
“Rest in Peace, Colonel Tibbets.
Your actions saved a million American lives..”
Amen, rest in peace. You helped get my Dad home.
Yep.
