V-J Day, or Victory over Japan Day, marks the end of World War II, one of the deadliest and most destructive wars in history. When President Harry S. Truman announced on Aug. 14, 1945, that Japan had surrendered unconditionally, war-weary citizens around the world erupted in celebration.
Rhode Island is the only state that observes Victory Day, and it's come under some criticism in recent years. Critics have said it singles out the Japanese people and also celebrates the use of atomic bombs at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which led to Japan's surrender.
