Apart from the Japanese victims in the cities of Hiroshima & Nagasaki, civillian or otherwise... I wish to extend prayers to the forgotten and often overlooked victims.

Those who died from the bombs or radiation sickness etc included unknown numbers of slave labor imported from China, Korea, Indonesia and other terrorities held by the Japanese during WWII. As well as American & European POWs.

"Ash to ash. Dust to dust. May there still be flowers, may the candles still burn bright to guide the children home. Because the spirit of peace, freedom and truth is eternal."
