Today marks the 81st anniversary of the official end to World War II. On September 2, 1945, on the deck of the USS Missouri, Japan and the United States signed the official surrender documents.

Today--September 2---is an important day in American history.

Today is often referred to as "V-J Day", and marks the official day that the United States secured a victory over Japan in World War II.
While Japan had announced their surrender a few weeks earlier, Victory over Japan Day (V-J Day) would officially be celebrated in the United States on this day, the day that formal surrender documents were signed aboard the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay

Eagle Scout Candidate Andrew Long chose the Person County/City of Roxboro First Responder Memorial as his Eagle Scout project. He was able to get donors to do the landscaping around the memorial. Rolling Hills donated the mulch and plants. Others donated funds to pay for other cost that came with this project. Andrew and his fellow scouts did an outstanding job with the landscaping. Thank you!
