After World War II ended, Admiral Ernest J. King paid another visit to Lorain for the Victory Day celebration honoring all men and women in Lorain County who had a part in the Allied victory. The celebration took place on September 29-30 1945. (Japan had signed the surrender documents in early September.)
It would be the third time in three years that the navy chief had visited Lorain.
The following article speculating about the Admiral's retirement ran September 22 in the
Lorain Journal, and the ad for the upcoming Victory Day luncheon ran on September 25.
