Today, or yesterday because of time zones for you Colonials.
My Japanese Warrant Officer's sword will get a showing; taken from an injured Japanese SNCO by my great Aunt, a frontline hospital nursing officer in Burma.
Effectively the 1939 - 45 Welsh version of "Hotlips" Houlihan. Quite a character.

Rhode Island by the way is the only state left that celebrates VJ Day as an official state Holiday.

I remember VJ Day. It was a great day for the world because it ended WWII. I really did believe that there would be no more war because we were the nation that had the Atomic Bomb. Ah, the insight of 11 year olds is a wonderful thing.
