Default Re: V-J Day August 15, 1945

I had a close cousin that was in the air force as an engineer. He was stationed in Australia & married a Aussie girl. Never returned to the states. Became an engineer there & had his own business. They lived in Melbourne. I had a B-I-L that was in the tank core and saw action in Africa. He did come home & was a stone mason. Both are long gone now. I was in the Korean conflict but didn't see any action. Just a lowely mechanic.
In my home town of Hartford ,Ohio we had a guy that survived the Bataan death march,never talked about it.
I had 3 brothers & myself that served & all survived. There is only 2 of us left.
Japan surrender is on my b'day.
