The Day of Days

Seventy years ago today,  on the 8th day of May 1945, 

the liberation of Europe was finalized.

The most brutal dictatorship known in modern history had come to 

an end.

The "Thousand year Empire" had lasted a scant twelve years, 

six  of them spent in the most devastating war the World has ever 

known.

A conservative estimate puts the number of persons killed 

during this conflagration at 56,000,000.

Let us celebrate this day in quiet contemplation !
