Paul Tibbets dies at 92

My dad fought in the Pacific, though he did not fight as far as I know it, he repaired and serviced the planes on an aircraft carrier. It was a different time and I think Tibbetts voiced it well, they did what they had to do at the time. As horrible as it was and still is, how many lives, Japanese and American were saved by the bombings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

I've long wanted to go to the peace memorial in Hiroshima and offer up my prayers for those who died, the women, the children, the innocent people.
