Wikipedia calls it for August 15, 1945, the Chicago Tribune says August 14th, but that may be the one day difference of time.
Either way, World War II came to an end 70 years ago today.
Thank you Harry Truman for having the courage to drop those atom bombs to force Japan to surrender. A lot of Japanese died from the two bombs, but had they not been dropped many millions would have died as they were prepared to fight for the last person. U.S. casualties would probably have been in the 500,000 range.
Thank You, harry truman. --GreGen
The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
