August 14 1945 - VJ Day in Hawaii

Off subject some what today, this film was too good to not share with you.

One of events of the past, which brought us to Taiwan, was Japan's surrender ending WW II.

A friend sent me this link to a beautiful color film, taken in Hawaii on VJ Day, August 14, 1945.

Overwhelmed with joy and relief from worry, these folks were ready to let it all hang out.

What are you looking for?

Let me help you find what you're looking for.

Look down below, just past the Guest Book remarks and you will find a box that says, Search This Blog.

Type in something like CCK or Tainan or Taipei Air Station or another base or station, press enter and Bingo, every Blog Post that has any of the word(s) you typed into the Search Box will appear just under the photograph on the top of this page.

Maybe a certain thing like Control Tower at CCK, or Tainan Fire Department or Club 13, Taipei Air Station, anything that you want to search for.

Give it a try, you will find something, that will lead you someplace and before long you will be up to date.

If I can help, please email me.

History

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Truth is NOT subjective and facts do not lie.

Political correctness makes for denial and hypocrisy.

Political Correctness has no place in our National Strategy!

故曰：知彼知己，百戰不殆；不知彼而知己，一勝一負；不知彼，不知己，每戰必殆。

So it is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you can win a hundred battles without a single loss.

If you only know yourself, but not your opponent, you may win or may lose.

If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself.
