Interviews - They Were There On August 6th and 9th in 1945, two atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan. My grandfather was on a 30 day furlough when the war ended. If the war had gone on, he would have had to continue fighting and maybe his life would have been different.
Gabe's grandparents voted in the 1948 election. His grandfather voted for "Old Harry" as he called him. His grandmother also voted for Truman. She said she voted for him because she thought he was the best candidate, but also because he went to school with her father in the fifth and sixth grades. Her father got to meet Truman when he was on the Whistlestop tour.
Gabe's grandfather said Truman was his favorite President because he ended World War II.
