I know it’s been awhile so here’s a tribute and then some kickass! ;0)
Tribute to Major General Charles W. Sweeney
Major General Charles W. Sweeney piloted a B-29 Superfortress bomber (Bockscar) deep into the heart of Japan to drop, in military combat, the world’s second atomic bomb. This was the nuclear blast that brought the warlords to their imperial knees and closed the last active chapter of history’s most destructive war…
After the war, he rose to the rank of major general in the Massachusetts Air National Guard. In the early 1960s, he coordinated civil defense work in Boston, creating response plans in case of a nuclear attack on the United States.
