No mention in the news today of the formal Japanese surrender on board the USS Missouri.

NBC had a piece on their national news, focusing on a vet who was on the Missouri for the signing of the surrender.  He is disabled and has terminal cancer, and an organization (like Make a Wish, but for adults) flew him to Hawaii and took him to the Big Mo.  Nice story.

QuoteNice story.

Yes it was...  Too bad todays selfish society does not care...
In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."
