The United States entered World War II after the Japanese
bombed the U.S. Pacific fleet in Pearl Harbor in a surprise
attack on December 7, 1941. The Japanese surrendered on
September 2, 1945, marking the end of WWII. The United States
paid a dear price for the war with the loss of 500,000 U.S.
military and women.
A famous image of WWII is the raising of the flag on Mount
Suribachi, Iwo Jima, on February 23, 1945. A somber place to
visit is the Normandy American Cemetery which is the final
resting place of WWII U.S. troops overlooking the French beach
were many of the young Americans came ashore on D-Day, June 6,
1944, with each grave identified with a white grave marker.
Honor both veterans and those who gave their lives with this
World War II Memorial commemorative ornament.
