Something is really wrong when we can't remember the Day that over 9,000 of our allied troops perished in a bid to free Europe from the grasp of an evil man. It was also the day that Hundreds of thousands began that trek to freedom, as well as to many of their deaths.
How can anyone ever forget that. Maybe the news folk did.....Myself....Never.  |
I agree with the sentiment expressed here, but would like to note that most media are driven by anniversary dates ending in a zero or a five.
There was quite a bit about the 65th anniversary last year. I would expect that there will be a fair amount of VJ Day coverage leading up to 8/14.
