| V-J Day, 1945 I see by my trusty calender that today is the anniversary of V-J Day. Yesterday, September 1 marked the start of WWII in 1939. Six years & one day total. A lot happened during those six years. Some of it is covered here on a daily basis. | |||||||||||||

| Re: V-J Day, 1945 I was fortunate enough to be involved in the 60th commemoration of VJ Day aboard USS Missouri last year -- it was a humbling experience. I don't know that I agree with calling any generation "greatest," but they served extraordinarily in extraordinary times. We shall not see their like again. | |||||||||||||

| Re: V-J Day, 1945 It makes you think a little. What sort of world would we live in but for those brave boys. A world ruled by Nazi Germany and an Evil and cruel Japan. It makes me shudder. We owe those guys more than we can ever repay. | |||||||||||||
