August 15 1945

Today is the day that japan surrenderd, six days after the atom bomb was dropped on Nagasaki. It was a very destructive and deadly occurrance, hopefully it will never happen again. In this age of appology for everything america has done, is doing or will do in the future, I think of the stories that I heard my uncles tell about the germans and the japanese soldiers and how mean they were and how ruthless they were. Most of our american soldiers that fought them are not around anymore so it is easy to think that we were wrong in bombing them, but it was the only way, they were not going too quit.I know it was very tragic, the many men women and children that were lost that day and war is an awful thing to do, but it saved alot of our young men that would have died if they had not made that decision. My uncle spent time in a japanese prison camp, he would only speak of a few things that they did to him,I can only imagine what else was done, so before we decide to be the villian in that war and this one we are in now, lets step back and look at who we really are, we are AMERICANS and we live in the greatest country in the world and we need to apologise to no one.
