69 years ago
Sixty nine years ago today a delegation from Japan signed the surrender papers aboard the battleship " USS MISSOURI ".
I think it was a date of crucial importance to remember. Those who cannot remember the past unfortunately are condemned to repeat it. Sergio

Thanks to the millions who manned up, were called up, and the folks who maintained the homefront so this could happen.
