General Eisenhower informs me that the forces of Germany have surrendered to the United Nations. The flags of freedom fly all of Europe. We can repay the debt which we owe to our God, to our dead, and to our children only by work, by ceaseless devotion to the responsibilities that lie ahead of us. We must work to finish the war. Our victory is only half over.
— President Harry S. Truman May 8, 1945
It is my earnest hope, and indeed the hope of all mankind, that from this solemn occasion a better world shall emerge out of the blood and carnage of the past — a world founded upon faith and understanding, a world dedicated to the dignity of man and the fulfillment of his most cherished wish for freedom, tolerance, and justice.
— General Douglas MacArthur, September 2, 1945
