War Is Over

August 15, 1945, Menasha Record
This was a big day for Menasha, in that the whole city seemed to close down to celebrate the long awaited victory.  There was celebrating, though it was a bittersweet affair, considering the war dead, and all the other sacrifices the American public had to endure to get the job done.  It was a time to ponder, to consider what it all meant, to anticipate a brighter future, and to welcome loved ones back home.  All those things had to have been on the minds of Menashans as they raised a glass to toast the victory.
