On May 8, 1945, the Allied Powers accepted Nazi Germany's unconditional surrender, bringing an end to more than five years of devastating combat in Europe. Victory in Europe Day — VE Day — marked a defining moment in world history and a hard-won triumph for the millions of service members and civilians who endured the long road to peace.

As we mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day, we honor the courage and sacrifice of all those who fought to defeat tyranny and restore freedom to a war-torn continent. Their legacy endures.
