Here's something you don't see every day...

Of course, you don't see the end of a war every day, either, but here's what one newspaper ran on the day of Peace, Aug 15, 1945:

Let Us Thank God
To Almighty God, for this blessed peace restored to a war-torn world, a grateful people offer devout thanksgivings.
Thank God, we say, the war is over at last. The guns are stilled. The bombs plunge no longer on their missions of death. Mothers and wives and sweethearts can breathe with unfettered hearts. Our loved ones will be coming home. An evil enemy has been crushed.
But there are many who are not here to rejoice with us this great day--because they gave their lives so we could have this day. Give them our prayers, our undying gratitude, our promise to cherish forever the ideals they freely died for. And for peace with victory, let us thank the All-Merciful God.

Wow, a time when the First Amendment included, and was not ashamed of God.

Anyway, this was a paper we sold on ebay and I just noticed that as I was packing it up to ship. Had to get that down before I forgot it. If ya think school's out for the summer... you're wrong!
