Letter: Why we celebrate Victory Day in Bristol

Posted

To the editor:

I would like to remind Mr. Nomiyama, and our young citizens, the reason we celebrate Victory Day.

First, it’s not to forget the veterans that sacrificed their lives to keep our freedom and our democracy. We did not start the war with Japan. Japan attacked our country.

We enjoy our daily freedoms because of the courage and sacrifice of military veterans.

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
