Florida resident finds WWII-era letter in a bottle scattered amid Hurricane Debby debris

Suzanne Flament-Smith said she was walking along the bayfront in a region of the Tampa metro area known as Safety Harbor after Hurricane Debby when she found the message in a bottle. The letter was dated March 4, 1945, which was about two months before the end of World War II in Europe. The war in the Pacific did not end until September 2, 1945, when Japan surrendered.
