I am an 86-year-old Vietnam War veteran. I was 9 years old when Japan surrendered on Sept. 2, 1945, ending World War II. WWII began on Sept. 1, 1939, when Germany invaded Poland. This war was won by defeating the Axis powers of Germany, Italy and Japan by the Allied countries of the United States of America, Great Britain, Poland and France. The Soviet Union joined the allies in June 1941. Journalist Tom Brokaw called the Americans that fought The Greatest Generation.

Or resolving real ones?
