I recently picked up 3 issues of Stars and Stripes from May, 1945 including the May 9th issue "It's Official Now!", announcing the end of the war in the ETO. There was also a supplement to this as well as an issue with info about Redeployment and "points", which I'm sure was the number one topic of conversation at the time (well....maybe #2, these were 19 year old men!
)

I just love these things. A dear friend of mine whose family never threw anything away still has a ledger in her library where her parents recorded the purchase of war bonds in 1943.

God bless those heroes who suffered and died, for plain folks, like you and me.
War is a crime. Ask the infantry and ask the dead.
