On Aug. 14, 1945, Japan announced its surrender to the Allies on what’s now known as V-J Day, or Victory over Japan Day. V-J Day is celebrated on Sept. 2, the day the declaration was officially signed and World War II came to an end.

Watch a marathon of World War II veterans on cable and streaming worldwide with PCN Select in remembrance of VJ Day Aug. 14 at 9 p.m. and all day Sept. 2.

In 2002, PCN began interviewing WWII veterans to get a rare glimpse into experiences only those who served can tell. In 2011, the show expanded to include veterans from all conflicts up through Afghanistan and Iraq – and renamed to Voices of Veterans.

This year’s Voices of Veterans include: Arthur Wells, from Hellertown, who was a seaman first class in the U.S. Coast Guard in the South Pacific; Mahlon Fink, from Sinking Springs, who was a Corporal in the U.S. Marines during World War II; Ernest Coccia, from Phoenixville, who was a motor machinist third class in the U.S. Navy in the Pacific

Watch a weeklong marathon of Voices of Veterans Aug. 31 – Sept. 6.

New episodes of Voices of Veterans air every Veterans Day on cable and streaming. Know someone who wants to tell their story? Email info@pcntv.com
