A significant historical anniversary will be observed Friday, but only in a muted fashion.
May 8, marks the 75th anniversary of V-E Day, the end of WWII in Europe.
Although Nazi Germany surrendered on this date in 1945, fighting in the Pacific theatre would rage on until late summer when Japan finally surrendered.
Most previously planned events marking V-E Day, both in the U.S. and in Europe, have been canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
