Today marks the 60th Anniversary of the the end of World War II. It is therefore called VJ Day - Victory over Japan - though I'm led to believe some people call it VP Day.
On this day we remember too Pope Pius XII in 1950 making a very large assumption about the Blessed Virgin Mary. Hence, the 15th of August is also known as Assumption Day.
