A Comment On “The Rest Of The Story”
I just wanted to share this as a post. You can see it was submitted on 10-29-2009 on The Rest of The Story by a man who would have been with the first to hit Japan and probably one of the first to die. I really wonder what a difference this story would have made to many people had it been publicised after the war?

I’m speechless; I was one of the guys in the 11th Abn Div who was waiting on Okinawa for the go ahead to jump on the Emperors Parade Ground in Tokyo. I recall that word filtered down from Gen Mac that many of us would not see home again. Naturally, we knew nothing of what is contained in this writing. Then late one night Okinawa exploded with noise and fireworks and finally someone said that a nuclear bomb had been dropped on a city in Japan. My reaction was, what is that? Thanks to Harry T who made the decision that he did I was able to live to this day in 2009 having raised a large family. I am still glad to be alive.
