Commemorating the 70th Anniversary of V-J Day
|
Though the fighting had ceased some three weeks earlier, September 2, 1945, was officially the day to celebrate the end of World War II. Crewmembers crowded the decks of the USS Missouri as the Japanese officially signed the formal surrender documents. The gruesome, exhausting, brutal war was officially over, three and a half years after the United States was attacked at Pearl Harbor. The Museum will commemorate this important WWII anniversary with speakers and archival footage reflecting on the meaning and legacy of Victory over Japan.
