Ok I am aware that I am kind of a dork, and that I like learning about the past. History was one of my favorite subjects in school. I even thought about getting a teaching degee and then teaching it! I never did...who knows maybe someday.
I decided to post a kind of memorial...This day in History 1945, we dropped the Atomic bomb, nicknamed "fat man" on Nagasaki, Japan, nobody knows the exact death toll, but its estimated between 40,000-80,000. Three days prior on August 6th, 1945, we dropped the first Atomic bomb nicknamed "little boy" on Hiroshima, Japan, killing 80,000 people. Five days later on Aug 14, 1945 Japan surrendered. It is estimated that between 60,000,000-72,000,000 people died in World War ll, from civilians to diseases and famine, and of course all the soliders. (this is not including the Jewish people in Germany, Poland, etc.) I just wanted to take a minute and thank all those soldiers who fought in World War ll and for the soldiers who continue to fight for our freedom. I'd also like to remember all those who died from the Atomic bombs and all the other bombings around the world, may their deaths always be remembered. Hopefully the Atomic bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima will remain a singulair event, and the world will never again know Nuclear war.
