V-J Day Remembered Victory over Japan Day (also known as Victory in the Pacific Day, V-J Day, or V-P Day) is a name chosen for the day on which the Surrender of Japan occurred, effectively ending World War II. In Washington on August 14, 1945, President Harry S. Truman announced news of Japan's surrender in a press conference at the White House: "This is the day we have been waiting for since Pearl Harbor. This is the day when Fascism finally dies, as we always knew it would."
This year on Sunday, August 21st, the Alabama Veterans Museum will honor and pay special tribute to the Veterans of World War II with a remembrance ceremony. Tickets will go on sale Monday, July 18th at the Museum and at the Senior Center for $10.00 each for the 2:PM show. Tickets are limited and there will be only one show, (last year's show sold out during the pre-sale.)
