V-J Day, the official signing. After years of brutal fighting in the Pacific, Japan’s surrender marked the end of World War II. More than 111,000 American troops gave their lives in the Pacific Theater, and countless others were wounded in battles like Iwo Jima and Okinawa. On this day, we honor the courage, sacrifice, and resolve of those who fought to bring the war to an end. #vjdayay #wwii #worldwarii #neverforget #pacificwar #honorthefallen | National Veterans Memorial and Museum
