Japanese man certified as double A-bomb victim

EXCERPT: Yamaguchi was in Hiroshima on a business trip on Aug. 6, 1945, when a U.S. B-29 dropped an atomic bomb on the city. He suffered serious burns to his upper body and spent the night in the city. He then returned to his hometown of Nagasaki just in time for the second attack, city officials said.

1. We had a survivor of Hiroshima working in our EM clug in Japan.

She had a badly scarred face. The ever empathetic GI's nicknamed her "Ground-Zero".

She was a sweet lady named Michiko.
