A-Bomb Saves a Life.

STORY BY: Mel McGee
YEAR: 1945
LOCATION: Japan

Mel's story is about her father in law, who was "a guest of the Japanese", as he called it. 6 months after being enlisted, he was captured and held in a prison camp in Japan for the duration of the war. Interestingly, he says that the Atomic Bomb saved his life - he wouldn't have survived if the Americans had not dropped them on Japan. Thanks for sharing, Mel.
