August 15th was the Anniversay of VJ Day. It came and went without a notice.
‘VJ Day will always be remembered’
VJ Day marks the moment on August 15, 1945, when Japan surrendered after the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Citizens of the USA died in that war, not just in Germany.
I'll continue the essay tomorrow evening, however, there is plenty to think about when this country does not pause to recognize the people lost in that war on both sides. Japan experienced huge death tolls, but, I don't have to remind everyone of that. Two atomic weapons were unleashed on that nation. The only two atomic weapons ever released in the world. That was 1945. Long time ago. We learned from that experience as did the world.
At a time in the USA when so much is backwards, and we have a president that is our adversary rather than a leader for this country, freely breaking the law to suit his political agenda. This past week, quite literally, General Hayden and George Walker Bush have been found guilty of treason against the USA Constitution while conducting a covert operation against Americans. There was no reason for it, at all.
I believe as people of this great nation we carry a lot of 'jazz' for lack of a better word in our hearts and minds regarding the 'identity' of the USA. If a country has an identity, then it enhances 'the ego' of the people within it, hence, the country through it's citizens has an ego. Does the 'ego' of the USA truly 'fit' the people of this grand land?
I'll explore some thoughts about that tomorrow. For now. Have a great Saturday Night.
