From the April 30, 2015, Panama City (Fla) News Herald.
His words: "My dear friends, on behalf of Japan and the Japanese people, I offer with profound respect my eternal condolences to the souls of all American people that were lost during World War II."
Shinzo Abe, Japanese Prime Minister.
And, I would like to also offer my condolences to all the Japanese people who lost their lives in that war.
Much Respect. --GreGen
My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
