Remembering The End of WWII: Keep the Spirit of '45 Alive

This year marks the 65th anniversary of the end of World War II. With each passing year the memory of what was accomplished fades a little, as do those who actually made the sacrifices to win that war.  

Earlier this month, Edith Shain - the kissing nurse captured in the famous Life magazine photo - passed away at 92 years of age.

Shain [see photo insert] was the national spokesperson for an initiative called Keep the Spirit of '45 Alive, which is seeking to establish an annual World War II day of remembrance so that the nation doesn't forget.
