Why do the Veterans of foreign wars show the official end of World War 2 on their calendars as December 31 1946?
Our military, and our Merchant Marine and Army Air Forces in particular, had substantial transportation functions to perform after August 15, 1945 (Japanese surrender). These functions involved shipment of equipment, food and other items to the war-torn nations. These shipping functions exposed military personnel to sea mines, land mines, snipers, transportation accidents and other residual dangers and resulted in additional American casualties. Veterans who served after August 15, 1945, sought benefits as World War II veterans. Eventually, Congress and President Truman agreed and benefits were afforded to anyone serving between August 15, 1945 and December 31, 1946. On that day, however, President Truman declared an end to "the hostilities of World War II," the date that officially ended our servicemembers' entitlements to World War II veterans status.
