To those of us who were alive at the time it was a great joy and the realization of a wild boastful rumor that boys whispered to each other in the 40′s. “We have a bomb so powerful that 10 of them would destroy Japan.”
My brother and I were in the back seat of the Plymouth as my dad filled up the car. After paying for the gas he was extremely excited when he returned to the car telling mom to turn on the radio, something is happening. And we learned that day that indeed such a bomb did exist and was used in Japan.
Americans were ecstatic because they knew the war would soon be over.
