VICTORY

The “V” sign was popular by Western Allies during WW II as a symbol of “Victory at Hand.” During the Vietnam War, in the 1960s, the sign was widely appropriated by the counterculture as a symbol of peace. President Richard Nixon also used the “V” gesture to signal victory in the Vietnam War, an act which became one of his best-known trademarks. For the veterans of the 360th the sign was simply a friendly greeting commonly used in photos.
