The White House issued a presidential message marking the 81st anniversary of Japan's surrender, describing it as America's 'complete and total victory' in World War II.

The message recounts wartime battles including Midway, Leyte Gulf, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa, and notes more than 16 million Americans served with over 400,000 killed.

It closes by framing the current U.S.-Japan alliance as the legacy of that victory and pledges the nation will remain 'proud, vigilant, and free.'

The full dispatch is available from the source below.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK

Marking a historic anniversary with real sacrifice is worthwhile; doing it in the language of a movie trailer is a choice. The dead of the Pacific war do not require superlatives to matter, though the White House press shop apparently believes otherwise.
