Having trouble viewing this email? | View it in your browser   President Obama made history Friday by becoming the first sitting U.S. head of state to visit the Japanese city of Hiroshima since American forces dropped an atomic bomb on it in 1945, killing an estimated 80,000 people and hastening the end of World War II. Obama and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe are expected to lay a wreath at the Peace Memorial Park and make brief remarks. Obama has said that he would not apologize for the Hiroshima bombing on Aug. 6, 1945, or the atomic bombing of Nagasaki three days later.
