1941 Attack on Pearl Harbor

In Pearl Harbor many family members and friends were lost, and nearly everyone’s lives were drastically changed. In some ways the attack was the most devastating thing in the world, maybe which is because it was the only attack that I lost my father. How others my view this attack is that it is nothing compared to some of the other losses in this war. Lately I’ve heard on the radio that there was attack on Hiroshima, a city in Japan. There was something called an atomic bomb that the American dropped on the Japanese. They lost everything. Most families didn’t survive, and people are suffering from various illnesses. In my head I think that the Japanese deserved this attack, deserved their losses, and deserved all their suffering. After all they did to Oahu and my family they all deserved to die. In my heart I feel that no one could ever deserve this, that they all have feelings and that (if possible) they might even feel worse than me. Reflections
