  Victory over Japan Day - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
V-J Day is the abbreviation for Victory over Japan Day, the celebration of the Surrender of Japan, which took place on August 15, 1945, ending the Second World War.
In Japan, the day is known as, Shusen-kinenbi, which literally means the "Memorial day for the end of the war".
This is commemorated as Liberation Day in nations such as Korea, partly due to participation of her exiles in War against Japan over 40 years.

This in combination with expert photographic analysis is providing compelling evidence that points to George Mendonsa, a native of Newport, Rhode Island as the Kissing Sailor in the famous 1945 Life Magazine photograph that captured the elation and relief of the nation after four years of loss and sacrifice in WWII.
Using 3D analysis and synthesis of the sailor in the Eisenstadt “VJ Day photo”, the MERL scientists have de-aged George’s 3D shape from today and from 1945 photos of George.
As a result the Postmaster General presented George with a framed stamp and first cover (envelope with the stamp that was cancelled on the first day of issue in Honolulu, Hawaii, the scene of the start of the war), as well as a letter thanking him for his service.
