American Patriots Calendar.     This is my thinking.   The left (media/dems) continue to add or delete American Holidays.  Who says they get to make that determination.  It's up to us to celebrate what we determine as worthy and ignore what we deem unworthy.    Starting with this month.     
Also out of respect for what THis President is doing for this country and for Americans.

August

VJ Day


When :
August 14th - Japan surrenders
August 15th - Surrender announced to the world
August 23rd - Black ribbon day in honor of victims of communism & Nazism
September 2 - Ceremony and formal signing of surrender

VJ Day marks the end of WWII, and the cessation of fighting against Japan. It is called "Victory In Japan Day or "Victory Over Japan Day".

The confusion over three dates:
There is some confusion over what date is V-J Day. You can consider any (or all) of three dates as V-J Day. President Harry S. Truman caused some of this confusion........
On August 14, 1945, the Japanese government cabled to the U.S. their surrender. This is the date of most modern observances.
On August 15, 1945, news of the surrender was announced to the world. This sparked spontaneous celebrations over the final ending of World War II.
On September 2, 1945, a formal surrender ceremony was held in Tokyo Bay aboard the USS Missouri. At the time, President Truman declared September 2 to be VJ Day.

Regardless of which day you view as VJ Day, World War II was finally over.

A Little VJ Day History
The war in the Pacific was hard fought and bloody. The tide had definitely turned, and the U.S. military was fighting island by island towards Japan. Resistance was fierce. Casualties on both sides were high.

The U.S. had developed the atomic bomb. The U.S. government was anxious to end the war, and stop the loss of American lives.

On August 6th, 1945, the United States military dropped an atomic bomb over the city of Hiroshima, Japan in an effort to force Japan into an immediate, unconditional surrender. Instead of immediately surrendering, the Japanese government debated what to do. So, the U.S. dropped a second atomic bomb on August 9, 1945 over the city of Nagasaki, Japan.

On August 14, 1945, Japanese Emperor Hirohito cabled the U.S. to surrender, and agreed to the terms of the Potsdam Declaration.

On August 15, 1945, news of the surrender was announced to the world. World War II was finally over. Hostilities ended.

On September 2, 1945, the Japanese formally surrendered aboard the U.S. battleship USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay. President Truman declared this to be V-J Day.
Did You Know? The battleship USS Missouri was chosen for the formal surrender ceremony, as she was named after President Truman's home state.

August 23:Adding for Next august 23. Black Ribbon Day. Why? To honor the victims of communism and Nazism and to make the progs heads explode.

What is Black Ribbon Day, and what purpose does it serve?
Black Ribbon Day marks the anniversary of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany signed on August 23, 1939, on the pretext of "non-aggression" between these two evil regimes for a period of ten years. The Nazis invaded Poland on September 1, 1939; the start of World War II shortly followed. As a result, the Soviet Union occupied the Baltics (Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania), parts of Finland and Poland, the Romanian province of Bessarabia (Moldova), northern Bukovina (Ukraine), and the former Czechoslovak territory of Carpathian Ruthenia (Ukraine). Tyranny then ensued.
As a result of this pact, millions of people were prominently displaced, oppressed, or killed. This rearrangement of occupation zones resulted in countless people being shipped off to labor camps (or gulags) to die, among many things. My late maternal grandfather was one of those people subjected to the horrors of imprisonment in one of Stalin's s gulags, having survived an 18-month prison sentence at the Belomor Canal gulag near the Finnish-Russian border. There, he endured unspeakable horrors ranging from being torture to enduring near-freezing temperatures. He managed to survive solely because he was an able-bodied farmer and a deeply faithful Catholic. If it weren't for his strong will, he would have died. Countless others weren't as lucky as him to survive.
Fifty years after this horrible pact was sealed- on August 23, 1989- over two million people from the Baltics formed a human chain called the "Baltic Way" to protest the Soviet Union. It spanned roughly 600 kilometers, or 372 miles, from Estonia to Lithuania. Two and a half months later, the Berlin Wall fell.

I'm putting this together in light of the recent column by some curmudgeon huffpoo/salon writer who said, If we got rid of Christmas would anybody care' AND the fact that most americans are unaware of the holidays and memorial days that WE as a NATION used to celebrate.

Please let me know if I've missed anything in particular days of memoriam, celebration, observances to do with the military, WWII, and history of the nation.
