Ohio V-J DAY 1 VJ DAY 2-PEACE IN OUR DAY On August 14,1946, the world will look back on a year of freedom from global war. It has been a critical and dramatic year, in many senses more critical and dramatic than the horrendous years that preceded it. The United States, together with other nations, has spent the past twelve months struggling to set its feet back on the highway to peace and security. It cannot engage in this struggle without the deeply-etched reminiscences of the dark and bloody times that were encom passed by Pearl Harbor and Okinawa- k silent monuments to American valor and sacrifice. On the white beaches of the United States the sailor, soldier, or veteran can peer into the glow of his outdoor hearth (right), remembering, but alive and at home again. Rev. J. A.
