Aug 15, 2025
For the millions of families gathered around their wireless sets, and for their loved ones still serving far from home, it was the message a battle-weary world had long prayed for - The war is over.
This morning, as we mark the 80th anniversary of VJ Day, The King has delivered an audio message to mark the historic occasion.

I'm three years older than he is, so you might say I have known of him all my life. But only in the second half have I come to respect him. We in the US don't always see this side of him. But it's there.
