DO NOT FORGET THIS DATE!
There is plenty on TV about it.
This is also the begining of the CCKWs being declared excess, so that we could play soldier with them 60 years later.

Thanks for the introduction photo on the home page of the site. It is amazing how much play the press is doing on the contributions of the Russians to WWII and victory in Europe and yet little about the U.S. Today I heard one news commentator say that the victory in Europe was because of the contributions of the European allies and that the war in the Pacific was an American war? That kind of garbage is confusing to say the least.
