Today is the 80th anniversary of V.J. Day, or Victory over Japan Day - the day Japan officially surrendered to the Allies, effectively ending World War II. While the announcement of Japan's surrender was made on August 15, 1945, leading to widespread celebrations, the formal surrender was signed on September 2, 1945, aboard the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay. Both dates are recognized as VJ Day, with the earlier date often celebrated in Europe and the later date in the United States.
