Ayrshire
Ayrshire CND are organising a Day Of Remembrance
for the thousands of people
killed by the Nuclear
Weapons which were dropped on the Japanese cities
of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Today 50 years after,
thousands of people still suffer the effects of
radiation and unfathomable
emotional pain.
The Day Of Remembrance has been organised not
only to remember the people who
suffered but also to
campaign against the replacement of Trident Nuclear
Weapons and the threat to
humanity which is still
posed by Nuclear Weapons.
