My father’s corp was preparing to go to Japan for the expected invasion. He was in the signal corp, preparing radios and telephones for salt air and rainy weather conditions when they got the word the bomb had been dropped and the war was over. I’m here because of the bomb, my father was convinced he wouldn’t have made it through the invasion of Japan alive.
#MeToo.
My father was a medic slated to be in the Japan invasion. A high mortality rate was expected.
