The sounds of war in Europe were over. No more rumbling of radials or the booming of cannon. The only noise to be heard was wild celebrations for VE Day.

Sort of Deja Vu for Lt. Col. A. Holland @ Fairchild AFB in 1994

Here are a few from my archive of radio broadcasts.

MBS, May 8th 1945, Gabriel Heatter: http://radiorestorer.com/5-8-45MBSGabriel%20Heatter.mp3

NBC - President Truman Proclaims Victory: http://radiorestorer.com/5-8-45-truman.mp3

Can many people on these forums remember this day? Would be interesting to hear your stories.
