Truman Biographical & Historical Background Design Notes 28 of 30 August 15, 1945 was announced as VJ Day by Truman via radio. The formal surrender instruments were signed on September 2, 1945.

The National World War II Museum website has collated a terrific series of articles , oral histories, and videos related to war effort contributions by American women.

cptbilly Pillar of the Community United States 1982 Posts	Posted 09/04/2024 12:05 am A Tribute to the Civilian War Effort -- 1941 - 1945 -- "They Also Served" The lack of a consistent editorial and layout format for the flyers is typified in this final series medal flyer. Perhaps someone at Presidential Art Medals was weary of reading Edward Grove's bio blurb for the 30th time. . . Design Notes 30 of 30 This concludes the series. Thanks for looking.
