Church bells rang. Whistles at fire stations and mill factories sounded. People poured into the streets, waving flags and honking car horns.

I'm a Texan, I read about R.I. still marking the V-J Day. How American is that, to think a state in this day and age still has the courage to stand up to the rest. This is refreshing, afterall, this is in the great celebration, of the soldiers that still live today, that fought for that right to celebrate as my dad is a WW-2 vet also. It is something for you all to be very proud of, and I tip my Texan hat to you. Keep up that great tradition.

Victory over Japan day.

Looking at all the Sony, Mitsubishi, Toyota and every other product coming out of Japan, just who is celebrating the victory.

My father fought in WWII and was proud to do so. If we discontue this holiday it tells our proud veterans that we don't respect the sacrifices that they made. Let's not forget them!!

i would like to believe that it is still celebrated here out of respect etc. but the truth is it's just an excuse for the state government to take a day off
don't be fooled by rhode island, our state government is just a bunch of corrupt and greedy jerks with only a few exceptions

Daily Horoscope for December 29

Gemini

It's easy to become distracted and confused because your mind is wandering about in all sorts of different directions. You're also in a highly impressionable state so will believe almost anything you're told now, whether it's true or a total flight of fancy. Be wary of muddling others by only telling them half the story or letting your imagination fill in any gaps.
