i disagree.
the whole point of victory in europe day is the victory. it isn't about honoring the sacrifices of the enemy... those sacrifices killed our men and prolonged the war. the enemy sacrificed their lives to the end that we would have to sacrifice more of ours. that did nothing to hasten victory.
let's honor the day... but don't get wishy-washy.
