> The Sino-US Allied Forces Commemoration of the Victory of the Anti-Japanese War was held on August 15, which is also the anniversary of Japan’s surrender, and was held in Phoenix, Arizona.

The conference is co-sponsored by the Phoenix Glory Fellowship of the Republic of China, the Arizona Veterans Association and the 50th Chapter of Chinese American Veterans. Jin Xiaohui, deputy director of the Retirement Association of the Republic of China, and Wang Bingshen, deputy director of the Taipei Cultural Office of the Republic of China in Los Angeles, were invited to co-host. The conference started with the Los Angeles Chinese Flag Troop guarding the flag. When the mighty Chinese Flag Troop entered the venue holding the Chinese and American flags high, more than 500 Chinese and foreign guests stood up to salute the flag. Many overseas Chinese burst into tears. Anti-Japanese hero Mrs. Jiang Jianmin burst into tears and said, I saw the dignity of the flag of the Republic of China and the country's name being respected, and I was very moved. Nearly 260 active and retired U.S. military personnel attended the banquet. Many of them wore military uniforms and expressed their sincere admiration for the amazing performance of the Chinese flag team.

Deputy Director Wang Bingshen said in his speech: The activities commemorating the victory of the Anti-Japanese War and the liberation of Taiwan were co-sponsored by the Allied Forces of China and the United States, which made the event itself a lot better. President Ma once emphasized that the significance of commemorating the victory of the Anti-Japanese War is to prevent war and pursue peace. The mistakes of the war can be forgotten, but the historical truth cannot be distorted. Today, many soldiers from the Republic of China and the United States who participated in World War II gathered together to once again prove the cooperation between the Republic of China and its American allies during World War II and its contribution to the Pacific Theater at that time. On behalf of President Ma Ying-jeou, Vice Chairman Jin Xiaohui of the Retired Auxiliary Association of the Republic of China presented certificates of honor and commemorative medals to 11 veterans who had participated in the Anti-Japanese War in the Chinese theater and their families. Vice Chairman Jin Xiaohui specifically pointed out the significance of the Chinese and American allies fighting together to defend freedom and democracy in the Pacific Theater. The Chinese Flying Tigers pilots were trained in Arizona. That night, he especially expressed condolences to the flight officers of the Republic of China Air Force who were present. Gao Qizheng, Director-General of the Southwest District Preparatory Meeting to Commemorate the 70th Anniversary of the Victory of the Anti-Japanese War, delivered a speech on behalf of the preparatory meeting, saying that this very successful event was jointly organized by the Chinese and American Allied Forces. It was the last and largest event in the series of preparatory meetings. Governor Doug Ducey, Director of the Taipei Cultural Affairs Office of the Republic of China in Los Angeles, Xia Chang, and State Senator She Chanfen all presented certificates from the conference. The masters of ceremony that night were Rob Welch, President of the US Military Veterans Association, and Ronald Perkins, retired US Air Force Colonel. US Navy Rear Admiral James A.
