Honoring our Greatest Generation
Most of us were not even born yet.
It was 75 years ago. The nightmare that was World War II was coming to an end.
On May 8, 1945, our Allied Forces celebrated Victory in Europe Day.
Four months later, on September 2, aboard the battleship USS Missouri, Japanese officials formally surrendered. We celebrated VJ Day – Victory over Japan Day. The world was no longer at war.
Sadly, the scars of our involvement in that war, from 1941 to 1945, will remain alive in our hearts, minds, and souls forever. Our WWII veterans are now in their 90s or 100s.
Over 16.5 million men and women served in our armed forces during that war. Sadly, almost 300,000 died in battle. More than 113,000 died from other causes, and 670,846 were wounded.
From Staff Reports
RENOVO The planned power plant in Renovo achieved a key milestone Thursday when the state Department of Environmental Resources approved a construction plan for the project.
DEP approved the plan and an amended air quality permit for the construction of the Renovo Energy Center LLC electric generating station, which is planned to be located in the former Pennsylvania railyards on property now owned primarily by Renovo Rail.
The project has been in the works for some seven years, and it is hopeful that demolition and construction can begin later this year. When construction reaches its peak on the estimated $850 million project, there could be more than 500 workers on site. It will take more than two years to build with about 25 permanent jobs. Bechtel Corporation is the developer for the project under the name Renovo Energy Center (REC) LLC.
