[Bill W was a conservative]

My dad (1991-2003), an officer in the Signal Corps was at the time of surrender in Manila and like everyone else was consumed with preparations for the invasion of the Japanese home islands. He recalled the elation and relief with which the news was received. Up till that moment the prevailing mood was one of dread and depression at the thought of the upcoming ordeal.

In 1998 at a book signing in Fairfield, CT I was privileged to deliver a hand written letter from my dad to Gen. Tibbets, expressing his deep, deep gratitude for the important mission he carried out.

Wonderful story! I’m so glad you were able to deliver the letter to General Tibbets. I’m sure he read it, and treasured it.
And thanks to your Father for his Service.
