Catastrophes and Victories
Rhode Island celebrates Victory Day (V-J Day) on
August 14, marking the end of World War II in
1945. Quonset, Rhode Island, contributed the
Qyonset hut to the WW II effort, fashioned after the
British Nissen hut. In other war history, Vermont rec
ognizes Bennington Battle Day on August 16, in recog
nition of the Green Mountain Boys who defeated the
British in 1777. According to Georges
Clemenceau (1841-1929), “War is a series of
K fcatastrophes that results in a victory..”
Bk Joseph Heller, author of the novel Catch-
Sgfjp; 22, put the sentiment into more modern
terms: “I’d like to see the government
V 9 get out of war altogether and leave the
whole field to private industry.”
