This is film reel on Youtube for Japanese Surrender on Battleship Missouri on 09-02-1945.

This scene on video is first time I saw other than photo about Japanese surrender.  KJ

 

Another day on our website, another day of learning process.

And
Thought of brief history of our motherland;

08-15-1945 - Liberated from Imperial Japan
08-15-1948 - Birth of Republic of Korea
06-25-1950 - Korean War
And 4 19 & 5 16 followed and so forth...

PS;
Here's transcript of General MacArthur's Historical Speech.

What a great moment in the world military history and a great speech of General Douglas MacArthur!
This scene always uplifts my spirit.
I am fortunate to be able to see one of the greatest generals in the world military history.

Shall we read more of Gen. Douglas MacArthur's
- Memorable Speeches?

Thanks both of you for comments.

I brought out this famous historic General MacArther's address to here
for us reading once again.  KJ

Surrender Ceremony of Japan aboard U.S.S. Missouri.

We are gathered here, representatives of the major warring powers,
to conclude a solemn agreement whereby peace may be restored.

The issues, involving divergent ideals and ideologies, have been
determined on the battlefields of the world and hence are not for
our discussion or debate. Nor is it for us here to meet, representing
as we do a majority of the people of the earth, in a spirit of distrust,
malice or hatred.

But rather it is for us, both victors and vanquished,to rise to that
higher dignity which alone befits the sacred purposes we are about to
serve, committing all our people unreservedly to faithful compliance
with the understanding they are here formally to assume.

It is my earnest hope, and indeed the hope of all mankind, that from this
solemn occasion a better world shall emerge out of the blood and carnage
of the past -- a world dedicated to the dignity of man and the fulfillment
of his most cherished wish for freedom, tolerance and justice.
