My dad would have been a new infantry draftee private in Coronet and/or Olympic. Against fierce Japanese resistance, he might not have made it. The atom bomb probably made me possible.

Many who lived in San Francisco and the West Coast also owe their lives to the bomb. Japan had a dirty bomb attack planned with SF as their target. All of the resources for it were being assembled with September as the kick off date.
