     John  Conry was held captive by the sheer devastation that  he
     witnessed.  “You  can’t  imagine the  destruction  the  second
     atomic  bomb did. It was completely destroyed, everything  was
     gone.” Although he wasn’t in Japan at the time the bombs  were
     dropped,  John spent two hundred hours in flight in  his  tour
     after  the war transporting hand ammunition and assisting  the
     return of the Japanese back to Japan.
