Please note, I do not have a bone to pick in this arguement: the dropping of the second atomic bomb at Nagasaki, indirectly saved my Mother’s-(Japanese/Hometown-Place of Birth: Fukuoka) life and my Late Father-(American, was a young child, so he could not fight). What I object to strongly is the word: Happy to describe this occasion, there is nothing happy about it. Please try to understand where I am coming from, as this is a sensitive subject for me. My Mother lived through the air raids and bombings and was taught day in and day out that Americans were evil and the enemy, but hate did not cripple her mind, heart or soul for years later she married my Late Father, an American. They were married for thirty-five years and loved each other very much despite severe objections from my Late Fathers side: they did not want their only son marrying a dirty Jap. Well my Late Father loved my Mother very much, so he went against his parents wishes and married my Mother and they were happily married for thirty-five years until he passed away from a massive heart attack in 1995./Just Asking - seoul62........
