I got this from Sherry.

It's a color video of the celebrations that broke out when news of the Japanese Surrender was announced in Honolulu in Hawaii, 1945. (Click the link).  It was just interesting to see a bit of color and real life from back then - the music was nice too. Just an interesting snapshot from history.

My grandfather (U.S. Navy, Gunners Mate 2nd Class) was here when the surrender was signed as he was at Pearl Harbor on December 7th and was invited as a guest to watch the U.S. finish what the Japanese started.
