Howdy everyone! THANK YOU to our troops, and veterans for your efforts and sacrifices in protecting the Freedoms of not only the USA but others around the world.
I just got something super in an e-mail from a veteran friend of mine and where better to share these than with the troops and vets here. I well imagine several here have seen this wonderful man perform. I hope y'all enjoy these as much as I do.
It's still light out so it's back to work. LOL! Hope y'all have a fantastic Friday evening!

We have taken over SAM's keyboard, if you want to see him again, leave 2 tons of oats near the Foxhole.
No cops or we stampede!

T0he world was spared the cost of Operation Downfall, however, because Japan formally surrendered to the United Nations 2 Sept. 1945, and World War 11 was over. Hey Sam, the UN wasn't around yet, And I don't think the Japs surrendered to the league of nations, what gives?

Hey Sam, the UN wasn't around yetI think what the author meant was the US, Britain, Australia and the other Allies. I don't believe he meant the United Nations as we know them today.

You're correct SAM. Reading this helps clarify it.
From this site.
That morning, on the deck of the U.S.S. Missouri in Tokyo Bay, the Japanese envoys Foreign Minister Mamoru Shigemitsu and Gen. Yoshijiro Umezu signed their names on the Instrument of Surrender. The time was recorded as 4 minutes past 9 o'clock. Afterward, Gen. Douglas MacArthur, Commander in the Southwest Pacific and Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers, also signed. He accepted the Japanese surrender "for the United States, Republic of China, United Kingdom, and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and in the interests of the other United Nations at war with Japan."

You're correct SAM. Reading this helps clarify it. Sam's explanation was good, thank's Sam.
