...litany of foreign policy duties. On the anniversary of September 11 he'll attend a church service and then give a major address the next day about the global war on terror once again making the case for holding fast in Iraq. Later in the month he'll wing to New York for the annual meeting of the United Nations General Assembly. Oh, and all that talk about Social Security reform?

I was on the island of Tinian at that time, in the 4th Marine Air Wing, and often watched those big B-29s take off. When the Enola Gay returned, it just about blew our tents down, since it came in so low in celebration of what the crew suspected it had done: end the war. Later we flew our C-46 transport plane to Omura...
