LOST FILM - Honolulu, August 14, 1945.
JUST THINK HOW THIS YOUNG LADY FELT WHEN SHE DISCOVERED THE VIDEO HER FATHER SHOT.

Great video of a Spontaneous Victory Parade in Honolulu in 1945. Take a look at this video-absolutely fabulous! Notice the cars, jeeps, and youth. The guys in khaki or gray shirts and black ties are Navy officers or chiefs. The rest are Army or Marine. How young they all were to do what they did.

This guy really captured a moment in history! This is a super video of a time past - we need to remember and be THANKFUL.

Check out the color fidelity. It's not bad for 1945.

What a wonderful look back in history. It must have been an over whelming feeling to be there and to celebrating the greatest victory of all time. God Bless our Veterans past and present. The last statement completed the thanks all american felt that day and even now.
Thanks for such a terrific share.
Carl
