Honoring our Greatest Generation
Most of us were not even born yet.
It was 75 years ago. The nightmare that was World War II was coming to an end.
On May 8, 1945, our Allied Forces celebrated Victory in Europe Day.
Four months later, on September 2, aboard the battleship USS Missouri, Japanese officials formally surrendered. We celebrated VJ Day – Victory over Japan Day. The world was no longer at war.
Sadly, the scars of our involvement in that war, from 1941 to 1945, will remain alive in our hearts, minds, and souls forever. Our WWII veterans are now in their 90s or 100s.
Over 16.5 million men and women served in our armed forces during that war. Sadly, almost 300,000 died in battle. More than 113,000 died from other causes, and 670,846 were wounded.

LISBON Columbiana County commissioners on Wednesday approved the annual lease agreement with the county Department of Jobs and Family Services for its space at the Government Services Building on Dickey Drive.
Between Feb. 1, 2021 and Jan. 31, 2022, the JFS is expected to pay $465,769 in equal monthly installments of $38,814. According to Rachel Ketterman, director of the JFS, the agreement is equal to $10.56 per square foot of space.
The building opened in 2011 and the amount of the lease with the JFS is determined after a company analyzes the space annually.
When the building was built, the county had three loans totaling $9.581 million. The JFS is not the only occupant of the building, which also houses the Board of Elections, the Veterans Services Commission, the OneStop and the Ohio State University Extension Offices. The OneStop pays $51,000 per year for its space and the VSC pays $45,000 annually. The other two reportedly do not pay for their space.
