Pelosi Statement on President Obama’s Historic Decision to Visit Hiroshima

“President Obama’s historic decision to visit Hiroshima is a great testimony to his bold and principled leadership. I was honored to represent our country as Speaker when I joined other G8 Speakers in a wreath-laying ceremony at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park in 2008. Hiroshima is a deeply moving place to visit and to contemplate the terrible destructiveness of war.”
