The video link of the WW2 Japanese surrender signing-ceremony that is posted in # 16 above-thread is not only historical footage, but it's dramatic and emotional as well. It's a gripping event that stirred memories of many in my family, all now deceased, who served in that war.

You can not help but be totally moved watching this video.

A million thanks for posting, Pete.....I've bookmarked it and intend to forward the link to my relatives across the fruited plain whose late family members served so nobly in all military branches...including sending the link to some of my kin in England, where a late 2nd cousin served in the Royal Navy on a battleship in both the Atlantic and Pacific war theaters.

Bless all those who served....we are so proud of you !

They were getting close to releasing my dad, and thousands of others, from Japanese POW camps. He was shot down, in a B-29, over Tokyo, and was captured.
