HIROSHIMA, JAPAN - AUGUST 6: A young boy prays after releasing a floating lantern onto the Motoyasu river in front of the Atomic Bomb Dome for the victims of the bomb and for world peace on the 61st anniversary of the Hiroshima bomb on August 6, 2006 in Hiroshima, Japan.

Three days later another atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, ending World War II. (Photo by Junko Kimura/Getty Images)
