Re: Hiroshima on TV

My vote for someone to go on a commerative stamp would be Alan Turing. His breaking of the U-boat Enigma code helped save hundreds if not thousands of lives in the Battle of the Atlantic. He is also regarded of the father of modern computing and early software design. Sadly he took his own life because of his homosexuality in 1954, when we lived in a less tolerant society than today.
