VJ Day, Honolulu Hawaii, August 14, 1945 from Richard Sullivan on Vimeo.
65 Years Ago my Dad shot this film along Kalakaua Ave. in Waikiki capturing spontaneous celebrations that broke out upon first hearing news of the Japanese surrender. Kodachrome 16mm film: God Bless Kodachrome, right? I was able to find an outfit (mymovietransfer.com) to do a much superior scan of this footage to what I had previously posted, so I re-did this film and replaced the older version There are still images from this amazing day, in color, at discoveringhawaii.com

Thanks Bob.
I served from 93 – 97.
No wars and I don’t feel like I did much.
I salute all the others who are true hero’s
Those who went to war and those who paid a price.
G-d Bless all our hero’s
Thank you.
TxLady706, Even if you served from behind a desk during the time in which you served, you gave of yourself, you made the sacrifice. Therefore, you too are an American hero.
America appreciates your service as well for no doubt you had a role to play and so you did. God bless and thank you.

Bob, this is a wonderful tribute to our fallen heroes. I love it. Thanks for sharing.
