My birthday is kinda weird becuase its on Victory in Europe day (VE day). At least, tahts when its observed. Some say VE day is the seventh of may, some say the eigth, but i was born on the eigth and thats wat the US calender say its the "real" VE day.
And incase you dont know/never heard of it, VE day is the day that the allies officially claimed victory in WWII in europe. VJ day (Victory in Japan day) is some time in August i think. So, that basically means that war was pretty much over in Europe, more or less, becuase that was a few days after hitler killed himself and berlin fell the to Russia.
