V-J Day
- Share via
Two letter writers (Aug. 24) took you to task for not recognizing in print V-J Day, which they claim was Aug. 14. I’m surprised you didn’t defend yourselves. You obviously know, as I do, that V-J Day is Sept. 2. On Aug. 14, Japan accepted the Allied surrender terms, but President Truman proclaimed Sept. 2 as V-J Day, the day Japan signed the surrender agreement aboard the battleship Missouri in Tokyo Bay.
