V–J Day – September 2, 1945 (V-J Day)

On this day in 1945, known as V-J Day, the Japanese Empire formally surrendered to the Allied nations aboard the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay, bringing World War II to an end.

Throughout the war, the Marine Corps played a major role in the Pacific Theater, fighting in at least eleven island-hopping campaigns. The Marine Corps reached a peak strength of over 475,000 during World War II, and over 20,000 gave their lives in the conflict. The war also produced the Marine Corps' youngest Medal of Honor recipient, Jack Lucas, who earned the nation's highest military award at age 17 during the Battle of Iwo Jima.

V-J Day marked the end of one of the most significant chapters in Marine Corps history and honored the sacrifices of the Marines who served throughout the war.
