THE BOMBS OF AUGUST
In Remembrance of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
TvNewsLIES.org
When the bombs were dropped I was very happy. The war would be over
now, they said, and I was very happy. The boys would be coming home
very soon they said, and I was very happy. We showed `em, they said,
and I was very happy. They told us that the cities of Hiroshima and
Nagasaki had been destroyed, and I was very happy. But in August of
1945 I was only ten years old, and I was very, very happy.
The crew of the B-29 was so young and heroic, and in the photo they
also looked very happy. For some reason, I clearly remember the name
of the pilot, Paul Tibbets. Of course I remember the name of the
plane, the Enola Gay. And oh yes, I remember the name of the bomb.
It was called Little Boy. That made me smile.
I was so proud to be an American that day because we had done
something so remarkable. They said we were the first. We were
Americans. We were powerful. But they didn't say that Little Boy had
killed 66,000 people with its huge fireball that fateful day in
August. They didn't say that Hiroshima was not a military target, but
a city filled with men and women and children and animals who had no
idea they were about to die so horribly. When you're ten, they don't
always tell you everything.
