It's More Than Just Labor Day

 Today marks the 79th anniversary of V-J Day, the day Imperial Japan surrendered, bringing an end to WWII.  In the photo below Lt. Commander Montgomery is shown backstage at the "V-J Day Command Performance" on Armed Forces Radio talking to Claudette Colbert.  

 

Bob looks incredibly tired.  Four years of wartime military service will do that to one.  I just want to hug him and thank him for his service.

Yeah, nice photo. Like how Claudette has reached out to Bob, placing her hand on his back. You don't see too many touching involved photos of Bob.
