My Dad was in South Pacific for WW II.

Thank you for the nukes, Harry.

When our family visited the Truman library in Springfield, MO, that's exactly what she wrote in the guest log. Being a marine, Her father could and likely would have been on the front lines.

Harry just signed the go-ahead. Franky told him it was coming on his deathbed and he knew it was the only way to end it. Harry didn’t win his next term because he shite-canned MacArthur for insubordination. He knew it would cost him the election but he was adamant the people controlled the military, not the other way around.

my father was on Okinawa, after taking it, when we dropped the Nukes.

Like someone else said, "Thanks Harry"

An Uncle fought in Europe. After receiving very accurate mortar fire on their encampment he let his troops "liberate" the castle. Mortar fire stopped.
