Memorial Day 1945. Victory over Japan Day (also known as V-J Day, Victory in the Pacific Day, or V-P Day) is the day on which Imperial Japan surrendered in World War II, in effect bringing the war to an end. Seventy-five years ago, the days leading up to Memorial Day were uneasy and filled with mixed emotions.
The War in Europe is over, but the bloody struggle in the Pacific continues on, with no end in sight.
Memorial Day was originally dedicated to the soldiers who died in the Civil War.

Victory over Japan Day (also known as V-J Day, Victory in the Pacific Day, or V-P Day) is the day on which Imperial Japan surrendered in World War II, in effect bringing the war to an end. Row after row of temporary grave markers, all painted white, fanned out behind a speaker's platform draped in bunting. It was called Decoration Day because people went to cemeteries and put flowers on graves.
