Paul W. Tibbets

It's a sad day when a man cannot even die without worrying about protesters or other left wing nuts.

Paul W. Tibbets "reportedly told his family he wanted no funeral or headstone--so as not to give anyone a place to protest." (New York Post) He rather not have either than have Code Pink pyschos show up and make his family upset.

In the end, this American hero won.

In his immortal words,

"I didn't bomb Pearl Harbor
I didn't start the war,
But I was going to finish it."

God Bless Paul Tibbets!

Paul Tibbets: An American Hero

1915-2007

The man who effectively ended World War II, Paul Tibbets, passed away yesterday at the age of 92. Tibbets dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 from his B-29 bomber called Enola Gay (named as tribute to mother). The bomb was referred to as "Little Boy." As the New York Post writes, Tibbets was "a pilot of the U.S. Army Air Force's 509th Composite Group, based at Tinian in the Mariana Islands."

Despite lots of criticism, Tibbets never ever apologized for his action. As the Post writes, "He stoutly defended the dropping of the bomb, and claimed it never cost him uneasy moments: 'I sleep just fine.'"

May God Bless him.
