NRiched Team Member, Dr. Anne I. Harrington, commemorates this occasion by recalling the story of one of the US servicemen who participated in the bombing of Hiroshima. US military officer, Major Claude Eatherly, became an anti-nuclear hero after apologizing to the people of Hiroshima for his role in the atomic bombing.
