Rhode Island actually celebrates VJ-DAY!
#1

Hey, I think I love Rhode Island!. We are sitting here tonight watching a show called The States. Anyway, right now they are discussing Utah. Just before they went to the latest round of commercials, they flashed a tidbit stating that Utah is the only state of the union that celebrates VE-DAY with an official holiday. Well hot-damn, I didn't know that and I'm betting that most of you didn't either. I think ALL the states should do that, don't cha think?

 

I am going to find out more and post it here. Rock on Rhode Island!!! :armata_PDT_37:
