1945. The day Japan surrendered. I was eleven year old. I was
crammed in the back of a pickup packed with other boys and
girls, all yelling our hearts out as loud as we could to be
heard over the cacophony of honking horns and howling air raid
sirens. We were part of an impromptu motorcade weaving through
the evening streets of our Flatbush neighborhood in Brooklyn.
Everywhere we went—past the sidewalk fruit and vegetable stands,
the storefront A&P exuding the smell of freshly ground
coffee, the fish market and the kosher delicatessen along Avenue
J, the small row houses and big apartment houses on the side
streets, along Coney Island Avenue, with its rows of small
stores dotted with small restaurants and soda fountains, where
the electric trolley cars were clanging their bells nonstop—more
and more cheering people poured onto the sidewalks, waving
American flags and homemade signs, hugging, dancing. We kids in
the truck were all screaming, “Peace! Peace! The war is over!”
We believed this was the end of not just this war but of war
itself, that we were all going to live the rest of our lives in
a prosperous and victorious nation, on a peaceful planet.</span></p><p class=""><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2020/08/14/august-12-22-1945-washington-starts-the-korean-and-vietnam-wars/">https://www.counterpunch.org/2020/08/14/august-12-22-1945-washington-starts-the-korean-and-vietnam-wars/</a></p>
