USS Pettit DE 253 VJ Day

USS PETTIT DE 253

"The crew is displaying the signal flags, "V" and "J"...on VEE JAY Day.
We were initially joyous, then a sadness overcame us;
this may be apparent in the photo. It seemed unreal for the War to be over.
These pictures were taken while we were en route to New Guinea."
