Give 'em Hell, Harry

August 6th is the 64th anniversary of the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan.

August 9th is the anniversary of the Nagasaki bomb.

Each year, I am reminded of what President "Give 'em Hell" Harry Truman said when a reporter asked him if he had any second thoughts about his decision to drop the bombs on Japan.

Harry replied, "I'm still waiting for the S.O.B.s to apologize for Pearl Harbor."
