    Eighty Years Ago this week the first and last atomic bomb used in war detonated. The first was in Hiroshima and the last, three days later, in Nagasaki.

    Lest we forget .....

    Earlier this year we visited both cities and their respective memorials and museums relating to the bombings. Below in this initial post are videos and photos from Hiroshima.

    The first video documents this years efforts by a Rotary Club in Japan to refurbish the under water plaques at a memorial in Hiroshima.

    The second video is a ringing of the bell for peace at the Children's Memorial in Hiroshima:

    Within both the Hiroshima and Nagasaki Museums there are Virtual 3-D Exhibits depicting the actual explosions. The third video is of the exhibit at the Hiroshima Museum:

    Nagasaki reminds that it is the last place that experienced an atomic bomb in war. Its message to the world is a hope that it will continue to remain the last place.

    The first video from the Nagasaki museum offers views of what the city looked like 80 years ago prior to its devastation.

    Link to Video of Nagasaki in pictures taken prior to August 9th, 1945:

    The second video is of the 3-D Virtual Exhibit at the Nagasaki museum depicting the actual explosion over Nagasaki:

    I hit the “like” button, although it seemed inadequate. We need an “amen”button.
