My comment on the letters sent in by Carol Iossa and Bob Tweedie regarding the U.S. dropping the atom bomb. I lost a brother in World War II. He was 19 years old and was killed on April 12, 1945.

Four months later the atom bomb was dropped. All I have to say is that it’s too bad it wasn’t dropped sooner, and my brother and thousands of others would have come home alive. Oh, and another little note: he was born on Flag Day.
