"Jan, I loved your post on #85! Thanks for the memories."

You're welcome! We sure got the ball rolling and we haven't stopped since! WHOO HOO!!!

And talking about memories, I posted that 3 1/2 minute video in Sand Rat's "Memorial Day" thread just now:

VJ Day, Honolulu Hawaii, August 14, 1945

"65 Years Ago my Dad shot this film along Kalakaua Ave. in Waikiki capturing spontaneous celebrations that broke out upon first hearing news of the Japanese surrender. Kodachrome 16mm film [in original color]" HERE (#11 in Sand Rat's Memorial Day thread)

Oh, wow....thanks for posting the link to that video.

Hey, freepers, especially WW2 vets and families....click on the V-J Day video above for the PERFECT Memorial day treat. View the exuberance, the celebration, the neighborhood folks joining the military march, the army and navy uniforms of the 40's, the gals hair-dos and clothes-styles of this era, the cars (oh, my), the incredible Hawaiian scenery, the unspoken nearness of the base and port of Pearl Harbor....you will LOVE this amateur video. Trust yer ole MinuteGal.
