63rd Anniversary of Japan's Surrender - Peace At Last
August 15th marks the day the Japanese surrendered to the Allies. As each year passes, more and more men and women from the Greatest Generation pass away into the annals of history. Thank you for your great sacrifice brave men and women of the Allied Powers so that the world could be free from tyranny and genocide. We must never forget their great service and keep their deeds alive in our memory.
Anyone know any veterans from WWII? Most of the ones I know have died, including the ones in my family. But I still hang out with a few feisty oldies everyday at the park. Today I will reflect on that moment in history and count my blessings. I will then lift my drink and toast my friends at the park as well as the others around the world.
