That was the remark by Jack Foster, 89-year-old navy veteran, when I mentioned at the beginning of the Sunday School class that it was VJ Day. I've heard Jack say that before, and you wouldn't get any dispute from Okinawa veterans about the dropping of atom bombs. That saved us from invading Japan and suffering huge numbers of casualties. He was at Okinawa when Japan surrendered. Our ship was in San Francisco taking on troops for the first invasion of Japan.
Jack comes to church in a motorized wheel chair. He stays busy making bird houses and other small wooden objects.
