Atomic bomb cited in Cedar Rapids G Company reunion
Cedar Rapids hosts a reunion of 16 remaining members of Company G, 106th Regiment, 27th Infantry Division, aided by Charles Pfeiffer who located 63 former members. They credit the atomic bomb for enabling a planned invasion of Japan to be avoided, saving many lives, as they recall Okinawa battles and a cave baby rescue.
