A 93 year old Japanese man survived both Fat Man and Little Boy, the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.He was a businessman working at the docks in Hiroshima the day the bomb was dropped. He suffered minor burns and was otherwise all right.
He decided to visit his family in Nagasaki the next day when the following bomb was dropped. He survived. He became a man that survived two of the most devastating attacks in history and died an old man. That is remarkable.I also learned that the United States had, unbeknown-st to me, a sitting emperor in the 1860s by the name of Joshua Abraham Norton.

Try to incorporate your hyperlink into your post. Instead of just listing it, incorporate it. For example:
I just learned that the United States once had "an emperor."
The words "an emperor" would be your hyperlink.
What's your source for the atomic blast story?
Why did you choose a story about Japan for "U.S. History" topic?
Wikipedia isn't a strong source.
