V-E Day. Thanks for remembering.
As the son of a WWII veteran I can appreciate the sacrifices made by that generation.
"The mission of this command has been completed."
That's what she said.
If the Japanese Empire had surrendered 1 day earlier, The 2nd World War would have lasted 6 yrs to the very day!
9/1/39 to 9/1/45 instead of 9/1/39 to 9/2/45 as it did.
Would have made for great symmetry. Take it when you can get it.
I'm curious as to how many of today's young people EVEN know what WWII is.
