From the August 16, 2015, Chicago Tribune.
As relatives of the fallen dabbed tears from their eyes, Queen Elizabeth II led ceremonies Saturday marking the 70th anniversary of the victory over Japan during World War II, recalling the triumph and pain of Britain's experience.
The monarch and other members of the royal family commemorated the event at a church service at St. Martin-in-the-Fields in London and were joined by veterans and former prisoners of war.

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.
