75th Anniversary of the WWII Victory for the West

How did the 75th Anniversary of VE (Victory in Europe day, May 8) & VJ (Victory over Japan day, August 15) pass with so little acknowledgement, no celebration?

My mother was 8 years old in 1945, Daddy was 9. They each told us about the celebrations, the relief, the joy that accompanied the end of the War.

Thank you to all the men and women who sacrificed and died to protect our inalienable human rights from being infringed by demagogues and tyrants who dehumanized innocents as well as combatants.
