Anniversay of V-E Day - World War II
Friday May 8, 2009
May 8, 1945, V-E day! Today is the anniversary of the official victory for the War in Europe during World War II. On May 7th, Germany surrendered and May 8th was declared Victory in Europe Day. Sadly, each year marks the passing of numerous veterans of this war. We must always keep their memory and their courageous achievements alive.

Thankyou for your information and rememberance of our courageous men who served our country during WWII. We will always remember.
It is indeed sad that we are losing so
many of our brave weterans of WWII An
anniversary, that at the time was a
world shaking event, is soon upon us.
The 63rd anniversary of the landing at
Normandy, the invasion that brought
the end of WWII. Can you immagine the
horrors these brave men must have experienced. Eighteen and twenty year
old boys, soon to be men, no, soon to
be heroes to me landing on a hostile
beach, fighting to end Nazi tryanny
These boys should have been home, going
out on dates, starting their first jobs. They are heroes. Lest we forget. To many of us have. All honor
to our brave Vets. From Any war, they
derserve it. God grant them peace and
let them be happy and prosperous for
they’ve earned. Americans and yes people the world over, honor our vets
to them we owe our freedom Because of
them and the horrors they endured our
flag waves on. America, never forget
It is a shame that we have really lost of our Service people of WW1 and WW2. That have built the WW2 Memorial for these men, but what about the ones that past before this was built.
It is wonderful for two of my brothers to go and see it, but one has past since.
It should have been built long time ago.

It is sad that their is only one American hero from The Great War left and the many who are dying from The Second World War. I have encouraged every Vet I see, no matter how mundane their story to whether it was the most heroic thing they ever did, and break this tradition of (NOT TALKING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN THE WAR). They should all write their memmoir’s before they pass on so that none of it ever gets repeated. If none of you ever speak, none of us will ever know. God Bless You All.
I think everyone should remmenber VE day. During WWII My Grandmother was a air raid warden in Nothingham England and Stories of the bombing she used to tell. The 82nd or the 101st Airborn was station there and manning didn’t return. My wife Family survide Nazi France Her family being jewish wasn’t a small feat. Thankyou sir.
It is so true that many of our heroes have died before the US government COULD KEEP THEIR PROMISE TO THEM. The US government is responsible to all of its military but when it was time to pay up they let them suffer. I believe they claimed to be ignorant but you know you can fix ignorance but stupid is forever! Well, enough of this. My father is a Pearl Harbor survivor and is now 91 years old and still kicking. He gave those war years to the US government to protect our freedom and way of life. He is my hero! It seems that many of the survivors are dying each and everyday. It will be a sad day for me when it is my fathers turn. As far as I can tell, most all of the survivors of WWII now see things in a different light. They wonder why we are so prone to go to war. I did get to talk to a Japanese pilot and it was a real enlightening experience because his thinking is just the opposite than when he was at war. Thank You to all of our fallen heroes, our survivors who gave a great portion of their lives to protect our way of life, those who now serve in our military for they are the ones now that are protecting our freedoms that we so dearly love.
