To the editor:
On September 2, 1945 onboard the USS Missouri, the formal surrender of Japanese forces marked the end of World War II. During that war, more than 12 million Americans fought around the world and 407,316 made the ultimate sacrifice. As we mark the 75th anniversary, let us remember all of those who defeated the forces of fascism and preserved the freedom which we have today.
--Leonard Amicola, Croton-on-Hudson
