V-J Day Commemoration – 2024

September 2 @ 10:00 am - 10:30 am

FREE

On September 2nd at 10:00 am, Veterans Memorial Park will host a V-J Day commemoration.  This event is held to honor the Veterans of World War II, especially those who served in the Pacific Theater.  The signing of the terms of surrender by Japan took place on the deck of the U.S. Battleship Missouri on this date in Tokyo Bay in 1945, marking the end of the Second World War.  The brief ceremony will include the playing of our National Anthem, an opening and closing prayer by a Chaplain, appropriate comments from Master of Ceremonies U.S. Navy Veteran Bob Fugit and the sounding of Taps.  The location of the ceremony will be the WWII (Kilroy) Memorial in the Park.  The public is invited to attend, but since this will be a short event, seating will not be provided.  Guests who wish to sit are welcome to bring their own chairs.
