75 years ago today.... - usmbacker - 05-08-2020 10:55 AM

World War 2 ended. While we are going through some tough times due to Covid-19, imagine the sacrifices made in this country to crush the Nazi's and Japanese. Truly the greatest generation in our country's history.

Yep, it's VE day in Europe. Some of coworkers in the UK have the day off and I have Brit neighbor that is already drinking. Heck, I think even Germany is getting in on the act this year with Berliners being given an unprecedented holiday.
