Isn’t that one photo from the signing of their surrendor on the Missouri!!??
Love the stories.
No...I was a bit puzzled by it too when I first saw it. But it turned out to be a different surrender ceremony further down in the southern parts of Japan.
Glad you liked them. It is one of the things I really like about FR. Just the things people have written on this thread...
I find it both interesting and educational. I have learned a lot on here. We have people who are experts or have knowledge of a boatload of things.
They had a big explosion at a paper plant up here some months back, and I was puzzled because I don’t know much about paper processing. But there was a Freeper who explained it, sent me links (good ones) so that if it comes up in conversation, I know just a little bit about paper processing, enough to follow along and occasionally contribute.
We have military experts. We have energy experts. We have medical experts. We have music experts. We get folks on here from all walks, and I love it. Just love it.
We do get the occasional fraud (There was a famous one a while back I think named “Classy Green Eyed Blonde” or something like that, and it got very strange.)
But most of the time you get a good feel after reading their posts for a while. Always good to examine those things on an ongoing basis.
