Another Mixed day in History

So August 9th. This is both a happy day, a sad day, an unforgetable day and a politically expidient day.
So lets list some of the following events.
1945 Atomic Bomb dropped on Nagasaki
1974 My parents are on their honeymoon
1974 Tricky Dick Resigns and Ford becomes president.

So what can I say. This was a happy day for my parents and democrats. But overall this is in many ways a sad day for the nation. The fact that Tricky Dick had to resign was a tragedy. Nixon's abuse of power was a horrible moment in our history and his resignation and subsequent pardon only ended the madness. The dropping of the atomic bomb ended a World War II but again I must ask at what cost to human life and moral ideals.
