[QUOTE="druryj, post: 3141898, member: 10465"] We can discuss Hiroshima, but we aren't going to treat this like a birthday party. I edited the title to reflect such. Please continue. I visited the Hiroshima Memorial there as well, many years ago. A sobering and terrifying place indeed. As a related aside, while stationed in Hawaii many years ago, I used to conduct reenlistment ceremonies/flag raisings for Marines on the USS Arizona Memorial, and then gave a U.S. Flag to the Marine certifying that on the day of his/her reenlistment, a U.S. Flag was flown in their name above the USS Arizona. When doing this, I saw many Japanese tourists visit the Memorial there and lay tearful wreaths, and ask for forgiveness for their ancestors. Pretty awesome, sure makes you think about it all.
