HISTORY
The formal signing of the Japanese Instrument of Surrender took place on board of the battleship USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay. At that time President Truman declared September 2 to be the official V-J Day. However, over the years, many citizens of the United States have celebrated August 14 as V-J Day in conjunction with the European observation on August 15th. The announcement that Japan had surrendered was on August 15th in Europe, however, due to the time difference, it was still August 14th in the USA.
