Thanks, Paul Tibbets. I may not have had the chance to live without you.

And touched the face of God."
Thanks, Paul Tibbets. I may not have had the chance to live without you. Ditto here. One of my brothers and I had just finished a short leave -- having come home from the war in Europe -- and were on orders to the Pacific for that one; and another brother was already over there on an LST boat. General Tibbets made it possible for us to miss the planned festivities. RIP, General.
