A vigil and two film screenings highlight the Southern Oregon commemorations of the 81st anniversary of the World War II atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan.
A traditional vigil will be at 8 a.m. on Thursday at the entrance to Lithia Park, across from Ashland Plaza, with a moment of silence at 8:15 a.m., timed to the moment of the Hiroshima bombing.
