USS Missouri

75 years ago today the Japanese officially surrendered to General Douglas MacArthur aboard the USS Missouri. Officially ending the Second World War.

I've been on that ship deck!
Lots of great history for sure.

So much history in that time period. Yesterday marked the anniversary of the invasion of Poland by Hitler’s Germany in 1939. So much to learn from our shared history, and yet so many would sooner destroy it than learn from it.

My wife and I toured the ship a few years ago. I'm still wondering how they get that much steel to float.

Went to see it when my daughter was just little. We were all alone, no other people so we snuck into the roped off areas, my daughter took her camera and recorder to try to catch a ghost. I miss those days
