A Petition to the Congress of the United States to Declare August 6th Nuclear Disarmament Day
We petition the Congress of the United States of America to declare August 6th as a national day of remembrance. August 6th,1945 is the day the United States dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan.
A second atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, Japan on August 9th, 1945.
Sixty-three years have passed and it is time to remember that day so that there will NEVER AGAIN be a nuclear holocaust. We the signers of this petition ask that the United States Congress declare August 6th NUCLEAR DISARMAMENT DAY.
The feedback I have received from many of you captures the deep need for a formal national reflection on this history. I am currently preparing formal correspondence to present these concerns directly to the relevant congressional committees. We must ensure that the gravity of our request is understood by those with the authority to act.
August 25, 2008
The increase in support indicates a profound collective interest in this act of national remembrance. This forward movement confirms that the gravity of our historical legacy remains a priority for many citizens.

Never again. We have to learn from the past instead of trying to hide it.

People forget too easily. Keeping this date in our history books is the only way to make sure we dont make the same mistake twice.

We owe it to the victims to ensure this never happens to anyone ever again. August 6th should be a day to reflect on peace.
