A Passing

From the NYT:

Brig. Gen. Paul W. Tibbets Jr., the commander and pilot of the Enola Gay, the B-29 Superfortress that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima in the final days of World War II, died today at his home in Columbus, Ohio. He was 92.

Full obituary here.

This is a sad passing, indeed. SO many of the Greatest Generation leave us each and every day. If your parents or your grandparents are members of the generation that won The Big One you NEED to give them a big hug today, tomorrow, and every day they continue to grace us with their presence.

RIP, General Tibbets.
