V-J Day

Today is the 71st anniversary of V-J Day.  So we thought we would revisit the fab statue at the San Diego harbor. The sculpture is called Unconditional Surrender by Seward Johnson. It depicts the photograph V–J day in Times Square that showed the joy Americans felt when WWII ended. Annie was perplexed by the giant people until I explained that it was only the sculpture. The real people were not actually 25 feet tall.
Happy V-J Day!

  1. My Mom's dad was in Paris on V-J day in the Army Air Corp. He has a newspaper from that day signed by people of all different nationalities, in all different languages who were at the Eiffel Tower celebrating. It must have been quite an incredible day for everyone! And also he knew he'd get to go home after 4 years away. Happy V-J Day! xoxo
