On May 27, President Obama visited, becoming the first sitting U.S. president to visit Hiroshima. He will be accompanied by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Obama will lay a wreath at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial.
What the president will say is not known, but the White House has emphasized that he will not apologize for the United States' decision to drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the closing days of the war.
The Chicago Tribune editorial where I got these posts then said, "Nor should he."
The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
