World War II's surviving Doolittle Raiders make final toast

We remember.... we cherish, we respect, we honor and we owe them more than we can ever repay.......

 

On 14 August 1945, the Japanese accepted the terms of the Potsdam Declaration and agreed to surrender, ending World War II. It is known as V-J Day! Announcing the news the country in the evening, President Harry S. Truman also proclaimed a two-day holiday. Explosive celebrations immediately followed as Americans and their Allies rejoiced that World War II appeared to be at an end. Note, on 2 September 1945, representatives from Japan signed the Instrument of Surrender on board USS Missouri (BB 63) in Tokyo Bay.

Sniper:
A sniper is usually a highly trained marksman that shoots targets from concealed positions or distances exceeding the capabilities of regular personnel. Snipers typically have specialized training and distinct high-precision rifles. In addition to marksmanship, military snipers are also trained in camouflage, field craft, infiltration, reconnaissance and observation techniques.
