On this date in 1945, Japan formally surrendered, marking the end of WWII. I can only imagine the feelings of relief felt around the world on VE and VJ day.

This month's Untold Story of Service, which I co-produce with the Navy Memorial, is now available. We remember twin sisters who were Red Cross volunteers in WWI. They are buried at Suresnes American Cemetery just outside Paris: https://www.navymemorial.org/sotmaugust-2026

Everyone has a story. Those who came home from war may have decided to share their stories of service. Those who did not come home still have a story to share. This is the Untold Story of the twin angels, Gladys and Dorothea Cromwell.

As a volunteer videographer with the Navy Memorial, I had the distinct privilege to interview USAF Vietnam Vet Richard Krejsa recently at the Military Reunion Network's annual Summit. His full interview will be available shortly. We had to stop a couple times because of the emotions. But here is a nice short clip that isn't heavy. Richard is a great story teller with a resonant voice and a heart of gold.
