(OCONOMOWOC) - Earlier this month, Japan marked 74 years since atomic bombs were dropped on two cities including Nagasaki where the mayor called on Japan's government to join a United Nations treaty on banning nuclear weapons.
The annual observance is especially meaningful for a local World War Two veteran now sharing possessions collected during his service to country, including time spent in Nagasaki days after the nuclear blast changed the course of world history.
