Johnny Dollar Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 That was a great thing too! My Dad was in the Navy during WWII stationed on Russell Island in the Solomon chain for two years. There was a small support airbase there. We didn't have a newspaper from that time, but my Mom saved several papers from V-E day. I took this photo of them in the background with my Garand and 1940 PO8 Luger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry T Harrison Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Sadly the longest period of peace this country has ever had was the period between the end of the War of 1812 in 1814, and the time the war with Mexico started in 1846 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rancocas Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I was visiting my grandmother home in Shamokin, Pa. The whole town shut down for a big spontaneous celebration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
