65 years ago today, Brig. Gen. Paul W. Tibbets, Jr. (then Col.) saved millions of American lives, and effectively ended WWII.
Well done, Gen. Tibbets.
"On August 6, 1945 as the Enola Gay approached the Japanese city of Hiroshima, I fervently hoped for success in the first use of a nuclear weapon. To me it meant putting an end to World War II. I viewed my mission as one to save lives."
- Paul W. Tibbets
