Remembering VJ Day
At 7 p.m. on Aug. 14, 1945, President Harry S. Truman announced the
unconditional surrender of Japan to reporters gathered at the White
House.
Australia, the Netherlands, New Zealand, South Korea and the United
Kingdom celebrate Aug. 15 as V-J Day. On that date in 1945, Japanese
Emperor Hirohito broadcast the surrender to the Japanese people on Radio
Tokyo.
In memory of all who served.

One of my granddads was flying bombers around the Med; the other was an artillery F.O. in France. Both of them likely had that nervous couple of months of "Am I going to be fighting the Japanese next?" before the two giant flashbulbs shut it down. You'll never hear me bad-mouth J.
