Holy smokes! Hat tip to you! We got a lot to learn from you.

Like what do you remember of the day the war in Europe ended? The day it ended in the Pacific?

My sister, who was 8 or nine at the time, doesnt remember much at all.

I remember the day it started! Our first grade teacher, whose fiance was serving in Pearl Harbor, came in to class and told us what had happened that Sunday and expressed her concern over his safety. She finally heard, several weeks later, that he was safe and sound.

Probably because she was in boot camp or landing on some
beach...

Yes, I remember the end of WW II. I was shocked to hear of the atomic bomb. That was Buck Rogers stuff, then it became real. The most important part was that it meant Dad would be coming home instead of being in the crew of a landing craft for the invasion of Japan. He made it home before the end of the year. Glad he wasn't needed for the Ocupation. Dad had to find a new location to open up a barber shop, but he was back in business soon. Kept that location until he retired.
