Hiroshima, the pictures they didn't want us to see
By Frank Cordaro
The
Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki killed about 250.000 people
and became the most dreadful slaughter of civilians in modern history.
However, for many years there was a curious gap in the photographic
records.

vigil. Avove is a link and attached are some readings that can help you

Invite to Annual Aug 6 to 9 Vigil at the gates of Offutt AFB
The DM
and Omaha CW Communities invite you to join us for our annual 3 1/2 day
“shake and bake” vigil at the gates of Offutt Air Force Base, in
Bellevue, NE. home of the Strategic Nuclear (StratCom) and the US
Military Space Commands.
Come
stand, pray and do penance with us. Or come and sit, bring a blanket,
or foldeable chair, water jugs, ice chest, umbrellas for the sun and
rain and food to share. Just come for an hour or two and share your
hope for peace as we commemorate the Anniversary of the USA atomic
bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan on Aug 6 and 9, 1945.
Contemplate with us the work and mission of these god-awful Offutt
Commands, the challenges they pose to all life on our planet and the
demonic claim it holds on the soul and spirit of our nation.
This
year's vigil begins Monday Aug 6th at 8 a.m. the hour the USA dropped
the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, at the Kinney gate and main
entrance of Offutt AFB. The vigil ends Thursday Aug 9th at 11 a.m., the
hour the USA dropped the second atomic bomb on Nagasaki.
The
vigil will begin at 8 a.m. each day and last until 8 p.m. (12 hours) to
Thursday Aug 9th. On Aug 9th the vigil concludes with a prayer circle
and possible line crossing at 11 a.m.
Over
night hospitality is available at Holy Family Parish in Omaha (1715
Izard St) starting Sunday evening Aug 5th. The church only offers floor
space. Bring your own bed roll and pillow. If you need a bed, you
really need to contact us before hand to insure we find one for you.
Everyone is welcome, especially those in the Omaha area! Come for an hour or for the whole three days.
