If you love your freedom, thank a veteran. If you love to party, thank the Beastie Boys. They fought for that right.
So much we take for granted!

I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

Agreed!
I have one of the photos posted above. I’m not a good photographer though so I forgot to get my shadow in the picture.

Yeah, I should have included my toes. I did get the pics nice and blurry though.
Arizona, Missouri, and the National Pacific Memorial/Cemetery are really the gems of Honolulu. We should have spent much more time doing these. So much history and so many lives lost.
(Forgive me if I've posted these before)
Many never recovered...

I kinda look upon it as the "Day We Saved The World...Again".
This article was in the local paper last week. They do a "Flashback" page and this particular one was a report on the firebombing of Japanese cities by over 500 B-29s. It's too bad we don't fight wars any longer with the same attitude we did back then.

I’m celebrating VJ Day by taking the family to P.F. Chang’s. Should have gone to a Japanese restaurant, but the Ball N’ Chain needed Beef fried rice.

Good catch Martinjumper.
I find it interesting that the date on that paper is the day Hiroshima was bombed. It made me realize I didn't hear anything about that this year....I kinda look upon it as the "Day We Saved The World...Again".

Yeah...news didn't travel quite so fast back in those days. I was surprised that didn't "Flashback" to that event (either of them).
