VJ Day, Honolulu Hawaii, August 14, 1945 - Here's a bit of history


Take a look at this video....absolutely fabulous . Notice the cars and jeeps, youth, etc.,

This guy really captured a moment in history. (You can listen to Jimmy Durante singing in the background, too.)

This is a super video of a time past -- we need to remember and be THANKFUL.

Check out the color fidelity. It's not bad for 1945 - nothing will ever compare with Kodachrome film.

Thanks.

I was wondering if anyone was looking at it. Only 30 hits on the count page. Not much for a veterans section.
