VJ Day - 60 Years

For those interested, today is the 60th anniversary of VJ Day, or Victory over Japan for the Unites States - the end of World War II. While the war only lasted 6 years (starting when Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939) and American involvement lasted just 3 and half years, this period of time was probably the most tumultuous time in the last century of world history and the effects of it can still be seen today.

A salute to all our forces that fought during this terrible time and helped return peace to the world.
