#OnThisDay we celebrate "Victory in Europe Day" #VEDay, or the end of WWII in Europe.

And in this 250th year since America's founding, we think back to such a decisive moment in our shared history. Together, Europe & America restored peace and changed the world for the better.

RT by @EUintheUS: #VEDay: Today we remember a pivotal moment in the history of the transatlantic relationship: Europe & America working together to end World War II and bring peace to the continent. I am forever grateful to those who fought and died.

“An officer – he must have been a new arrival, and a right clown – ran out in front of the company and shouted, with enthusiasm: ‘Men! The war in Europe is over!’”

—George MacDonald Fraser spent VE Day in 1945 waiting to attack a Japanese-held village in Burma – from his memoir QUARTERED SAFE OUT HERE:

It is VE Night, Tobermory.
Cottages blaze and shimmer in the mirror of the bay.
Light is necklaced everywhere…

Cantie in seaside simmer on the dunes,
I fling awa my dowp of cigarette
whaur bairns hae biggit castles out of sand
and watch the reik rise frae the parapet…

Today is Victory in Europe Day, a day to remember the courage and sacrifice of those who served and those who lost their lives during WWII. 🌺🌺🌺 #VEday

Now the soldier has come home.

He has fought his way back
To the faces of the gnome-children
With still magic in their glances…

—James Findlay Hendry (1912–1986), “The Return”

On the 8th May 2026 is Victory in Europe Day. This is the 81st anniversary of the end of the Second World War. We honour the men and women of the Armed Forces who served with courage on land, at sea, and in the air. and we remember those who gave their lives so that future generations enjoy the freedom that we have today.
To all the veterans we say thank you for your sacrifice and service we are very grateful. #WW2 #VEDay

When VE Day finally came in May 1945 it was met with relief, exhaustion, and cynicism. Was the #SecondWorldWar in Europe really over?
