    Default Hiroshima August 6, 1945

    Interesting fact, to me anyhow, is I was born almost to the minute when the 'bomb' hit Hiroshima. I was born on August 7, 1945 at 8:30 AM. Because of world time zones, bingo! Where's my prize??
    Dad was in the Pacific Theater and received the news days later!

    Well, maybe no prize for you but the prize for us is we developed the A-bomb before Germany and Japan.

    The prize for Germany was the bomb wasn't completed soon enough.

    The prize for Japan was we only had the two bombs.

    Back in those days, a Mother spent a day or two when giving childbirth. Mom said the nursing staff had put small U.S. flags all over her room!
