YANK, The Army Weekly, Tokyo Edition, Dec. 28, 1945  

* End of this popular U.S. military servicemen publication

This is the very last issue, now that the war was over it no longer filled the need for which it was intended.
And what could be a more appropriate way to "sign off" than to print on the cover the "Honorable Discharge" papers for Yank, signed by Dwight D. Eisenhower.
This magazine was famous for the full-page "pin-up girls" found near the back, and this issue has a montage of many of them in the centerfold.
The complete issue in very nice, clean condition.

Background: The final issue of YANK, The Army Weekly on December 28, 1945, represents a poignant symbolic bookend to World War II, capturing the precise moment millions of American service members transitioned from combat to civilian life. By printing YANK’s own "Honorable Discharge" on the cover—personally signed by General Dwight D. Eisenhower—the magazine transformed a standard military administrative process into a shared badge of honor for the citizen-soldier. This creative sign-off, paired with a nostalgic centerfold montage of the famous pin-up girls, was more than just a farewell; it was a celebration of the unique military subculture created by and for enlisted personnel. Because YANK was fiercely independent and often critical of standard military bureaucracy, its official decommissioning marked the literal dismantling of the wartime media apparatus and signaled to millions of GIs that the world's greatest conflict was definitively over, allowing the publication itself to go home alongside the troops it served.
