1) How does your community (school, town, country) select to remember World War II? Examples: holidays, memorials, songs, movies, books… In Japan, 1945 is the day of the end of the war. And there are various memorial days. For example, August 6: An atomic bomb, "Little Boy" is dropped on Hiroshima. August 9: Another atomic bomb, "Fat Man" is dropped on Nagasaki. August 15: Japan surrenders. Many Japanese grieve on these days.

2) Do you know of anyone who was involved in some aspect of the World War II? If so, what is their connection? If possible, can you send a picture? I don’t know anybody involved in some aspect of the World War II.

3) Is there anything else you would like to add? The World War II The World War II has been finished for 63 years. In World War II many weapons were made so many people died. I searched about bombers. Bombers were the main force in World War II. Bombers were kinds of single-engine planes, twin-engine planes and multi-engined planes. But, there was difference in USA and Japan. USA were able to make multi-engined planes but Japan weren’t. I think that this was a decisive factor of the war. When Japan was able to make multi-engined planes, did the war change? It didn’t change. The war lost many people. And many people still suffer. We can’t get anything from the war.
