What a sobering moment.

Had we NOT dropped The Bomb we would have had to take Japan by force with a loss of millions on both sides. Nagasaki was (witness prior news releases) a center of war-making materiel and an exclamation point: Hiroshima was not a fluke and we could continue.

Hiroshima/Nagasaki saved millions of lives but sadly at the cost of thousands.

Today I say a prayer for the lives who, unknowingly, gave themselves up to save so many more.

I am sure God dealt with them each according to how they lived, as does He all.
