U.S. Ambassador to Japan Caroline Kennedy visited the Japanese city of Nagasaki Tuesday to commemorate the August 1945 atomic bomb attack.
An estimated 73,000 people were killed by the attack, more than a quarter of the city’s population at the time. Hundreds of thousands of Japanese people were subsequently sickened by radiation.
At the city’s Peace Park commemorating the bombing, Kennedy laid a flower wreath and helped plant a Dogwood tree as a gift of friendship to Japan. To read more about Kennedy’s visit to Nagasaki, read the article at Mail Online.
