Our Lewiston paper had a picture on the front page of a guy playing taps today.
My Aunt was one of six killed by the Japs in Bly Oregon, the others were kids in her sunday school group. These were the only deaths on the contenetal United States thanks to all who served their invasion plans never were sucesfull. They were killed by one of over 3500 ballon bombs that were launched into the jetstream from mainland Japan.For years before her death my mother Who died last Christmas day, gave talks around the northwest providing the history of the event and included me.We even met with a film crew from Japan at the Mitchel Memorial in Bly and became part of several documentarys done on the bomb. Remembering this story makes me miss her, the familys here sacraficed so much as well.
