The correct answer is "Victoryover Japan Day" or "V-J Day"

In the United States, V-J Day is celebrated on August 14, due to the difference in zone and time when the news of the surrender was published. In the state of Rhode Island, V-J is still celebrated with a state holiday, whose official name is "Victory Day", on the second Monday in August.
