To the east of the town
of Sřnderborg on the island of Als in southern Denmark, on a bluff overlooking Flensborg Fjord and the distant coast of Germany,
stands a simple monument commemorating the day the war in Europe ended. On May 4, 1945 the Allies accepted the surrender of
all German forces in northern Europe at Lüneburg Heide. This picture was taken in June 1979.

Three years ago, Bush jetted to the USS Abraham Lincoln
holding station some miles off the coast of San Diego to deliver the following message:
"....My fellow Americans: Major combat operations in Iraq have ended. In the battle of Iraq, the United States and our
allies have prevailed. And now our coalition is engaged in securing and reconstructing that country....."
Three years ago!
