Hey Everyone! This is not a political blog per se. However, it is a piece of Americana and love of country that I think you should all watch. It is a video of VJ Day in Hawaii that has appeared on the internet. There is a song being song by Jimmy Durante on the piece. This little 16 mm film shows the celebrations on VJ Day and gives a good look of what Honolulu was like in 1945.
I hope you all enjoy it and I also hope I’m not infringing on anyone’s copyright by posting the URL here.
Thanks!

The color, sound and quality of this film-to-video transfer is amazing for something shot in 1945 using 16 mm. I felt like I was there. Thanks so much for sharing a time when we were not hyphenated Americans, just Americans.
