My grandfather was on the Bunker Hill when it was kamikazied on May 11th. Any liberal pinhead who questions Hiroshima and Nagasaki lives in ignorance of the carnage at Okinawa. The A-bomb saved my grandfather from having to go back for the planned Home Island invasion.

Great Vid! My dad was the damage control officer for the front third of the USS Hornet. The vid matches his stories. On top of kamikazes armor piercing bombs were another fear. He lost a couple of room mates from these bombs. Would you know how one would get the crew manifest for a WWII carrier.
